via Phnom Penh Post, 11 July 2023: Archaeologists from the APSARA National Authority, University of Hawaii, and Flinders University have discovered an Angkorian ceramic kiln which operated from the mid-12th to early 15th century.
Using a magnetometer, a device that measures magnetic signals, the team uncovered the kiln at the Dei Chhnang Gate, nestled in the northwest corner of Angkor Thom, within the confines of Nokor Krao village in Siem Reap province.
The ANA detailed the location of the kiln cluster on July 10, explaining its position on a substantial mound, stretching 230m in length and 84m in width.
The mound, estimated to rise 2.7m high, parallels the wall of Angkor Thom, a mere 123m from the Dei Chhnang Gate.
Tin Tina, deputy director of the ANA’s Department of Research, Training and Communication, offered insights into the fascinating discovery.
