The focus of this unit of study is the art and archaeology of the medieval civilisations of Southeast Asia, particularly Angkor, that continue to have an effect on the present day issues of the region. Through explorations of text and material culture this unit will examine major themes in the development and transformation of these 'states'. Themes addressed include; the influence of India and China, Hindu-Buddhist religious syncretism in early Southeast Asia, the development of trade links prior to 1500, peripheral communities and minorities, and the historiography of Southeast Asia.
