Axe heads such as this example belong to a tradition of bronze working that began to develop in central and northeast Thailand around 1500 BC. Ban Chiang, in the northeast, was the first archaelogical site to provide evidence for this. Since its excavation in the 1960s, many similar sites have been discovered.
