- An interesting news story in the Bangkok Post about a project where Thai and Cambodian students are learning about their shared history. After all the Preah Vihear madness and nationalism in both countries this kind of cooperation is really exciting.
- Ka-Set has a neat story on a new EFEO project at Koh Ker. (I wrote about my visit there a few months ago).
- Back in February Michel Tranet, acclaimed French-Cambodian archaeologist and historian gave a talk (in Khmer) on the VOA radio program about the problems with looting in Cambodia. There is a brief summary in English here.
- Not Cambodia specific but here is blog that is discussing the ethics of collecting antiquities.
- A few images from the Japanese excavation of Phum Snay are here.
