via Bangkok Post, 16 June 2024: The Culture Ministry announced that further excavation at Korat’s Non Pol Lan site, where three ancient human skeletons were found, will resume after the rainy season. The Fine Arts Department will fund the project, aiming to uncover more artifacts and potentially establish a site museum to benefit the local community.
Further archaeological excavation will be undertaken at a site where three ancient human skeletons were found in downtown Muang district of Nakhon Ratchasima late last month, says the Culture Ministry.
The Fine Arts Department (FAD) will oversee the disbursement of a budget to carry on the excavation, now suspended due to the rainy season, said Culture Minister Sudawan Wangsuphakijkosol.
Workers made the discovery while landscaping the area around the old eastern moat on Assadang Road.
