The Ponheary Ly Foundation wants to help you interact with the social, cultural, spiritual and political elements of Cambodia in a positive and appropriate manner, thereby creating an experience that is not only fulfilling but is also genuine. In doing this we have found the experience of giving is becoming an important part of the Cambodian recovery. The Ponheary Ly Foundation is well established as a credible and innovative organization in the multiple communities in which it works, amongst governmental bodies, and other non-profit organizations working in education and social development. The PLF was founded by Ponheary Ly, a Khmer Rouge survivor and former educator. The Foundation is managed by Lori Carlson, from Austin Texas, a long-time resident of Siem Reap. PLF’s work ranges from providing localized and immediate hands-on responses to challenges facing families, communities, and schools in the realm of educational access and quality, to the more systemic advocacy work of improving teacher training and strengthening educational infrastructure. Through its array of programs, the foundation currently reaches approximately 2,500 children and youth across primary and secondary schools in Siem Reap and Preah Vihear Provinces. In the following pages you will find meaningful ways in which to engage with our students that will both benefit them and leave a lasting impression on you. School is the Answer. The PLF can provide tax receipts for participants from the USA, Canada and the UK. Cooking Lunch at Koh Ker Primary School Koh Ker School has 225 students and is located in a remote area of Preah Vihear Province in the shadow of Koh Ker temple. The children in this village have much less food security than in our other schools so the addition of a hearty lunch is particularly well received. Click here to see a video of a PLF volunteer trip to Koh Ker to provide a meal. Logistics: This event adds a satisfying dimension to a day trip to the Koh Ker/Bang Melea temples. Depart with the PLF team from Siem Reap at 6:00am, arriving to the school about 8:30 at which time we will prepare a big lunch for all the students, to be served at 11am sharp. After the lunch you can choose to walk with PLF team and the children home from school back to their village and continue by foot to Koh Ker temple (a 30 minute walk). At Koh Ker Temple the team usu- ally has lunch and some well-deserved cold drinks. Cost: $500 Including transport of food and staff to Koh Ker The event is possible all year Monday-Saturday The PLF can provide tax receipts for participants from the USA, Canada and the UK..

Municipality and Province Preah Vihear Province Investment Information Preah Vihear Province Preah Vihear Road Network 99 Municipality and Province Preah Vihear Province Investment Information I. Introduction to the Province Preah Vihear is located in northern Cambodia, 294 km from Phnom Penh running through National Road No. 6 and 629. The province borders Stung Treng province to the east, Siem Reap province and Oddar Meanchey province to the west, Thailand and Laos to the north and Kampong Thom province to the south. While much of the province is extremely remote and strongly forested, and the province is one of least populated in Cambodia, it is home to three impressive legacies from the Angkorian era: the mountain temple of Prasat Preah Vihear, which is well known as a World Heritage Site, the 10th-century capital of Koh Ker and the mighty Preak Khan. These legacies attract many local and international tourists every year. The provincial economy 85% based on farming and the remaining 15% based on fishing and other sectors. Recently, because of its border with Thailand, international trade has increased slightly, becoming another important sector for the province's economy. The province is endowed with endless natural treasures. With acres of dense, hilly forests and scrub green vegetation, Preah Vihear is indeed an ideal getaway destination to Cambodia’s nature with the breathtaking views over the Dangkrek Mountains and lush jungle from Preah Vihear temples. Preah Vihear has abundant water resources from 219 natural water reservoirs

A STUDY of the NAMES of MONUMENTS in ANGKOR (Cambodia)
A STUDY OF THE NAMES OF MONUMENTS IN ANGKOR (Cambodia) NHIM Sotheavin Sophia Asia Center for Research and Human Development, Sophia University Introduction This article aims at clarifying the concept of Khmer culture by specifically explaining the meanings of the names of the monuments in Angkor, names that have existed within the Khmer cultural community.1 Many works on Angkor history have been researched in different fields, such as the evolution of arts and architecture, through a systematic analysis of monuments and archaeological excavation analysis, and the most crucial are based on Cambodian epigraphy. My work however is meant to shed light on Angkor cultural history by studying the names of the monuments, and I intend to do so by searching for the original names that are found in ancient and middle period inscriptions, as well as those appearing in the oral tradition. This study also seeks to undertake a thorough verification of the condition and shape of the monuments, as well as the mode of affixation of names for them by the local inhabitants. I also wish to focus on certain crucial errors, as well as the insufficiency of earlier studies on the subject. To begin with, the books written in foreign languages often have mistakes in the vocabulary involved in the etymology of Khmer temples. Some researchers are not very familiar with the Khmer language, and besides, they might not have visited the site very often, or possibly also they did not pay too much attention to the oral tradition related to these ruins, a tradition that might be known to the village elders.

The Next Angkor Wat? Hile Most Tourists in Cambodia Still Make a W Beeline for Angkor Wat, More Discerning Travellers Might Want to Consider Sambor Prei Kuk Instead
Compass The next Angkor Wat? hile most tourists in Cambodia still make a W beeline for Angkor Wat, more discerning travellers might want to consider Sambor Prei Kuk instead. Located 200km from Phnom Penh, the complex (which translates to “temple in the richness of the forest” in Khmer) received UNESCO World Heritage status this July. Believed to have flourished in the late sixth and early seventh centuries as the capital of the Chenla Kingdom, the site pre-dates Angkor Wat and is notable for the craftsmanship employed in its 100-odd temples. According to UNESCO, “the art and architecture developed here became models for other parts of the region and lay the ground for the unique Khmer style of the Angkor period”. Open daily, Sambor Prei Kuk can be reached via a short detour from Highway 6, which connects Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. samborpreikuk.com ANOTHER SIDE TO SIEM REAP Venture beyond the temples of Angkor with this one-day itinerary MARK ANDREWS MARK ANDREWS MORNING AFTERNOON EVENING by Photos Koh Ker Beng Mealea Apsara Theatre Located three hours from Siem Reap, One hour from Koh Ker is Beng Mealea, Head back to town and round off your the 10th-century temple complex of Koh built in the 12th century.

Historie Routes to Angkor: Development of the Khmer Road System (Ninth to Thirteenth Centuries AD) in Mainland Southeast Asia Mitch Hendrickson*
Historie routes to Angkor: development of the Khmer road system (ninth to thirteenth centuries AD) in mainland Southeast Asia Mitch Hendrickson* Road systems in the service of empires have long inspired archaeologists and ancient historians alike. Using etymology, textual analysis and Angkor archaeology the author deconstructs the road system of the Khmer, empire builders of early historic Cambodia. Far from being the creation of one king, the road system evolved organically to serve expeditions, pilgrimages Phnom . Penh ù <> and embedded exchange routes over several i centuries. The paper encourages us to regard road networks as a significant topic, worthy of comparative study on a global scale. N 0 ^ 200 Keywords: Cambodia, Khmer, roads, routes, communications Ancient road systems: context and methods of study Investigating the chronology of road systems is complicated by their frequent reuse over long time periods and because they are comprised of multiple archaeological components that range from site to regional scales (e.g. roads, resting places, crossing points, settlements, ceramics). The archaeologist studying road systems must identify and incorporate a variety of available data sets, including historic information, within a framework of operational principles that characterise state-level road building and use. Recent trends in the study of imperial states focus on socio-cultural issues, such as pov^'er and politico-economic organisation (see D'Altroy 1992; Sinopoli 1994; Morrison 2001) and concepts of boundaries ' Department of Archaeology.

COX Angkor Away Cambodia’s farther-flung monuments offer a crowd-free perspective on the ancient majesty of Khmer civilization JUST OVER A DECADE AGO, VENTURING BEYOND ANGKOR WAT AND INTO the Cambodian countryside to explore remoter ruins was a guaranteed buzzkill: land mines and Khmer Rouge guerrillas were always a possibility, while appalling roads were assured. But Herculean demining efforts, increased political stability, and improving infrastructure have steadily opened some of the Khmer Empire’s near-forgotten masterworks to visitors. Chief among these outliers are Beng Mealea and Koh Ker, two vast complexes equal to almost any Angkor attraction. There’s just one notable difference—an almost total lack of ## tourists.

Towards a Quantitative Petrographic Database of Khmer Stone Materials—Koh Ker Style Sculpture*
Archaeometry 00, 00 (2009) 000–000 doi: 10.1111/j.1475-4754.2009.00475.x TOWARDS A QUANTITATIVE PETROGRAPHIC DATABASE OF KHMER STONE MATERIALS—KOH KER STYLE SCULPTURE* F. CARÒ Department of Scientific Research, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY 10028-0198, USA J. G. DOUGLAS Department of Conservation and Scientific Research, Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20013-7012, USA and S. IM APSARA Authority, Siem Reap, Cambodia A comprehensive quantitative petrographic database of sandstones used by the Khmers for sculptural purposes would be a helpful tool for archaeologists, museum curators and others interested in pursuing research on early stone usage, geological source and provenance. Towards that end, this paper presents quantitative petrographic analysis of stone materials used in the production of some free-standing sculptures and architectural elements in the Koh Ker style of the 10th century from the collections of the National Museum of Cambodia and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. These materials are compared to samples from the quarry of Thmâ Anlong near the foothills of the Phnom Kulen, Sieam Reap province. Primary and secondary detrital modes and key grain-size parameters are used to identify three sandstone types. The free-standing sculptures are carved from feldspathic arenite and feldspato-lithic to litho-feldspathic arenite. Finely carved lintels are worked from a quartz arenite, which is significantly richer in quartz grains and of a finer grain size. The geo- logical source of the two other lithotypes will have to await detailed geological survey of the Koh Ker area accompanied by petrographic study of selected samples from documented quarries.
