The article focuses on the advancements in the understanding of the ancient city of Angkor, Cambodia, since the publication of "Ancient Angkor" in 1999. It highlights the evolution of research methodologies, including the use of aerial photography and lidar (Light Detection and Ranging), which have revealed extensive archaeological features and improved knowledge of Angkor's hydraulic systems and urban layout. The article also discusses the shift in research focus from monumental architecture to the daily lives of the people who inhabited Angkor, emphasizing the complexity of its agricultural and urban systems. Overall, it underscores the significance of interdisciplinary approaches in uncovering the rich history of the Khmer civilization and the ongoing potential for new discoveries.
