Digging Deep
A Journey into Southeast Asias past

Description

In this unique memoir, Charles Higham describes the inside story of how his many excavations have introduced Southeast Asias past to a worldwide audience. For over fifty years, he and his Thai colleagues have explored the arrival of early humans, the impact of the first farmers, the remarkable rise of social elites with the spread of metallurgy and the origins of civilizations. Once seen as a cultural backwater, Southeast Asia now takes centre stage in understanding the human past. Professor Rasmi Shoocondej, Silpakon University

Charles Higham rugby player, talented excavator, and one of the great archaeologists of his generation is an engaging raconteur. His fast-moving autobiography tells of the life well lived, of a world authority on the Southeast Asian past. This is a fascinating, adventurous journey complete with academic debates, serious archaeology, its triumphs and minor disasters galore. Read this book if you aspire to be an archaeologist. It will inspire you to great deeds.
Brian Fagan, Distinguished Emeritus Professor of Anthropology, University of California, Santa Barbara

Higham charts an archaeological odyssey from Roman Britain via the Bronze Age stock-breeders of Central Europe to prehistoric Thailand and the origins of Angkor. This complements a personal journey equally eventful, from a double First and Rugby Blue at Cambridge to building a university department in New Zealand. Here is a life laden with academic honours and the thrill of discovery on a series of digs that have transformed understanding of the human past in a hitherto-under-evaluated part of the ancient world. Professor Norman Hammond, Senior Fellow, McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, Cambridge University

Charles Higham presents a readable and often witty account of a golden age in archaeological excavation in Thailand, Neolithic to Iron Age, from his perspective as a fundamental contributor. A must-read for colleagues, students, and the interested public alike. Emeritus Professor Peter Bellwood, Australian National University
