Provenance

Where it came from

The ancient Pyu of Burma, authored by Dr. Janice Stargardt and published in 1990, stands as a seminal archaeological study of the Pyu civilization. Commissioned through the joint efforts of PACSEA in Cambridge and the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies in Singapore, the work was designed to consolidate emerging evidence from fieldwork and aerial photography conducted in the late 20th century. It emerged during a pivotal era for Southeast Asian archaeology, aimed at reconstructing the complex urban landscapes of the Pyu city-states that flourished in the Irrawaddy valley.

Dr. Stargardt, a specialist in the historical archaeology of Southeast Asia, approached the subject by synthesizing environmental data, trade patterns, and settlement morphology. The book was received as a rigorous academic contribution that moved beyond traditional art history to explore the human-environment interaction of the region. It serves as a vital reference for scholars seeking to understand the structural and social foundations of the Pyu people prior to the rise of the Pagan Empire.
