Abstract:	The resources management during the Pagan period (1044-1287) is an issue which has already been a little explored by historians but the content of the texts and inscriptions, although essential, remains quite limited on this subject at that time. Archaeological studies permit however, due to recent surveys, to fill up a part of this gap providing a new light and complementary data unknown from the texts. Due to the establishment of new urban centres but most of all to the specialised function these cities had, the Pagan Dynasty could maintain a wide and unified empire as well as a viable economy. The foundation of khayaing, a term designating the status of few cities in charge of the main agricultural productions of the kingdom, is a concrete evidence of the resources management at that time, particularly in the Kyaukse area.
