First sentence: Prior to the excavations at Ban Chiang in 1974 and 1975, studies of prehistoric human skeletal remains from Thailand were limited to two sites: the Thai-Danish excavations at Ban Kao, a neolithic site located in Kanchanaburi Province in west-central Thailand (Sangvichien et al. 1969), and the Thai Fine Arts Department-University of Hawai'i salvage excavations at Non Nok Tha in Khon Kaen Province, northeast Thailand (Pietrusewsky 1974a) (Fig. 1.1).
