via Bangkok Post, 01 June 2024: Two human skeletons, dating back at least 1,500 years, were unearthed in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, confirming the existence of an ancient settlement in the area. The discovery, made during construction for a public park, included terracotta utensils and animal bones. This find suggests the region’s history predates the Ayutthaya period.
Two human skeletons dating back at least 1,500 years have been unearthed in Muang district, confirming an ancient settlement in the province.
Workers made the discovery while re-landscaping the area around the old eastern moat along Assadang Road in the downtown area of Nakhon Ratchasima municipality.
The area, which used to house an environment and pollution control office, is being developed into a public park. However, construction was suspended after workers first stumbled on some traces of relics.
