5-0 out of 5 stars Insight into the fascinating world of marine archaeology
This slim paperback (which is still readily available for purchase from the University of Bangkok's SE Asian Ceramics Museum) is a delightful "case study" of the world of marine archaeology. Turiang was the name given to a shipwreck found on May 13, 1998 in the South China Sea, not far from Singapore. (One of the charms of this volume is it explains so many basic concepts in marine archaeology--these Asian ships were probably unnamed, but it's the habit of the marine archaeologist who found her to name his finds after their cargos--this one was carrying a large amount of Thai ceramics, so Sten Sjostrand named it after one of the ancient names given the kiln site where many of the pots originated from.) The author then narrates the ship's history and poses the questions ceramics historians hope to have answered from such finds. For example, the wreck is dated 1305-1370, a period when there are still unanswered questions as to what type of ceramics China was producing, Vietnam and Thailand. All three types of ceramics were found onboard, and the styles and variations help us date the wreck--along with the presence or absence of iron nails, just to name one example.

While I am personally very interested in Chinese and SE Asian ceramics, this book would be enjoyed by anyone interested in knowing more about marine archaeology or SE Asian or Chinese ceramics, and how shipwrecks can provide the answers to long-standing historical questions. When was blue & white ceramics first produced in China? When was it first exported from China? Did Chinese traders try to circumvent prohibitions against ocean-going ships by using made-in-SE Asia ships?

For good measure, the authors include information about three additional shipwrecks in Asian waters: the Nanyang, Longquan and Royal Nanhai. Fascinating.

Scholar or armchair archaeologist, this is a delightful and well-illustrated volume for anyone interested in history or archaeology, Asian history or the evolution of ceramics. ... Read more

From the supplier: Contemporary Southeast Asia is characterized by a deficient conception of citizenship and political participation along with a preoccupation with conspicuous consumption. National development is focused on the pursuit of modernity, which can validly be separated from Westernization. Civil society should be recognized as a necessary part of modernization, however, while the modernity of consumerism is clearly illusory.

5-0 out of 5 stars here's the thing
i have now received my book and i've read several different areas in it.i have no reason to change my 5 star review written before receiving the book.alternate theories, whether you believe them or not, ARE interesting.there is no need to blindly gulp down what ANY author of this kind writes.instead, use the written word to broaden your mind.this book really gives one something to think about.

and that's the point:if you do not want to use your mind and think about different things...if you want to be lazy and ignorant and unimaginative...then i would pretty much think that a book like this would not be for you, and that you should've known that just from reading its description.

i thank the reviewers, both positive and negative, who seem to have the intelligence to state their thoughts without resorting to childish behaviour.you helped me make a decision.

to those of you who don't know the difference between its and it's, your and you're...well, you are the people who definitely (not definAtely) need to open your minds and try to get a little knowledge, have a little pride, become a little more literate.

after all...that's what books are for.

2-0 out of 5 stars Not worth the time spent reading
The authors of this book are grasping at straws trying to explain human origins based on evidence from the late 1800's up to the mid 1900's. They use their religious beliefs as the basis of a lot of their evidence/arguments and completely ignore that the easiest answer is usually the most likely. Their attempt to discredit evolution is subpar at best even from a creationist viewpoint because of their insistence of exploring the evidence from the late 1800's to the mid 1900's without context to current findings. They write as if these findings were discovered yesterday and somehow shed doubt on any current evidence and techniques.

I find that the only people that would believe this book's ideas about the origins of humanity are those that believe consipracy theories and have a general lack of education beyond the 8th grade level. To believe the authors insistence that the confirmation bias is as far reaching as they allude to in the book is like believing in any organizations ability to plan and execute a conspiracy that large flawlessly. It just is not going to happen and the bias is more than likely with the the two authors of this book than with the thousands of actual scientists out there (The easiest explanation that is plausible).

In conclusion, this book is not worth the time of anyone who is even remotely semi-serious about wanting to know the origin of the Human race. I would recommend "The Journey Man" by Spencer Wells instead as it is written by an actual scientist and not this pseudo-science baloney.

4-0 out of 5 stars TRUTH
GREAT OPENS YOUR EYES TO THE TRUTH OF HOW LONG WE AS HUMANS HAVE BEEN HERE.YOU DONT HAVE TO READ THE WHOLE BOOK IF YOU DONT LIKE.PICK OUT WHAT INTREST YOU,

5-0 out of 5 stars The Emperor has no clothes!
Cremo & Thompson have thrown down a mighty gauntlet with this excruciatingly well-researched volume. The gist of their probing question lies somewhere inside a mountain of evidence that betrays the party line of the "scientific community" on the origins of man.

Their point: you cannot cherry-pick the evidence that fits your hypothesis. Either completely change the accepted standards for archeological evidence, or embrace all evidence that meets the required standard - and then let the chips fall where they may.

"Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!" yelled the Wizard of Oz.

Stand there looking silly, or buy this book and pull back the drapes.


*be prepared to spend hours pouring over the minutia of detailed scientific arguments*

5-0 out of 5 stars interesting read
Great book. I recommend it to everyone who at least interested in our evolution and physical anthropology. I'm going back to this book periodically while i'm studing new materials and views of different scientists regarding this topic; however this book has its own strong argument regardless time and new hypotheses. ...
