The cemetery of Ban Wang Hi, which lies on the left bank of the Kwang River, was found when a water tank was dug there in 1986, and first investigated by the Fine Arts Department the next year. From 1996 the Thai-French Prehistoric Research Project started systematic excavation there in collaboration with the F.A.D. and the Mission Archeologique Franc;aise. Four burials were excavated belonging to the same phase of the late prehistoric period which probably date to between the last centuries BC and the early centuries of the Christian Era. Research will continue in 1997.
