Thought I would start sharing some footage of my fieldwork in #Laos late last year - We are investigating #LanXang period 14th - 18th century and some #PlainofJars sites. However before starting, refreshing rice wine must be had! The best stuff this side of the Mekong

@Nick_Skopal It can work anywhere as long as you have a clear view of the sky! I got 7cm accuracy in town and 2-3cm at the site, which is in a remote location.

First day of fieldwork is a wrap. 7 hrs of hiking to place 12 ground control points across the site. Remarkably, the Trimble Catalyst system (i.e. GPS with no base station) yielded 2-3cm accuracy! Drone flight tomorrow! More pictures to come!

Although it is still not clear what the giant jars were used for, the researchers believe they were "likely associated with mortuary practices" bbc.com/news/world-asi…

Mysterious giant jars have been unearthed in India, but there are still unsolved questions. #ANUExpert @Nick_Skopal says it’s likely they are tied to burial rituals, but "we still don't know who made the giant jars or where they lived”. 📖 anu.edu.au/news/all-news/…
