  1. Prehistory of Myanmar

    The prehistory of Burma spanned hundreds of millennia to about 200 BCE. Archaeological evidence shows that the Homo erectus had lived in the region now known as Burma as early as 750,000 years ago, and the Homo sapiens about 11,000 BCE, in a Stone Age culture called the Anyathian. Named after the central dry zone sites where most of the early settlement finds are located, the Anyathian period was when plants and animals were first domesticated and polished stone tools appeared in Burma. Though these sites are situated in fertile areas, evidence shows these early people were not yet familiar with agricultural methods. The Bronze Age arrived c. 1500 BCE when people in the region were turning copper into bronze, growing rice, and domesticating chickens and pigs. The Iron Age arrived around 500 BCE when iron-working settlements emerged in an area south of present-day Mandalay. Wikipedia

    Sep 18, 2023In Myanmar, archaeology is an important field to which much attention has been given. Faculties of archaeology are established in at least five universities (more than other Southeast Asian countries, such as Thailand), but overall, the historical lack of local prehistoric archaeologists has hindered the development of archaeology in Myanmar.
