Origins of Angkor Archaeological Project The Origins of Angkor Archaeological Project is a multi-disciplinary research project being undertaken by the University of Otago Department of Anthropology and the Fine Arts Department of Thailand.

Borobudur Borobudur, the great Buddhist stupa on Java (Indonesia), built and decorated perhaps before 800AD, should be on anybody's list of the ten greatest art-complexes in the world for its size, quality, sophistication and excellent state of preservation.

Course Grading Policy Course grades are determined by means of the following weighted evaluations: Geography quiz (10%), mid-term exam (35%), term paper (20%), and final exam (35%). Examinations will contain a section of short identification answers and a section of essay answers. The final examination will not cover material tested in the mid-term exam.
The term paper should be 5 to 8 pages long and on a topic of your choice given prior approval by the instructor. The paper should reflect an analytical point of view based on evidence, research sources, and clear argument. Students need to hand in a brief (1 or 2 paragraph) description of their term paper topic on Friday, March 29th.
To pass this course, regular attendance is essential. Although readings provide useful information that will supplement the lectures, exam questions will require an understanding of in-class presentations. Quiz, exams, and the term paper cannot be made up except in cases of documented illness or family emergencies. Anticipated absences should be cleared with the instructor before they occur.
