Abstract: | Several authorities have noted the widespread distribution of incised and impressed pottery vessels associated with the earliest rice-farming communities of Thailand. This paper explores the origins of agriculture in the context of a particular motif in the form of a stylized human figure. This motif, it is argued, links a series of sites in Central and Northeast Thailand, and suggests a shared tradition of symbolic decoration that dates from the late third millennium. |
