Abstract: |
This paper concerns the ceramic assemblages of two late second to early first millennia BC cemeteries, Oakaie 1 and Nyaung’gan, located in the Sagaing region of Upper Myanmar. In total, sixty-one graves have been excavated. Various grave goods were recovered in addition to the pottery, numerous classes of which exhibited stylistic similarities from one site to the other. Based on this observation, this article questions the existence of shared cultural traditions and interactions between the populations using the two cemeteries. A technological analysis of pottery was conducted, allowing us to classify pottery into socially significant techno-stylistic groups. For each site, the detailed analysis of techniques and styles permits the characterization of different groups of pottery which, examined in the light of the bioarchaeological and stratigraphic data, can be used to distinguish burial phases and to refine the chronology. |
