AB - The Sa Huynh culture of central Vietnam has garnered the interest of the Korean archaeological community due to its use of large jars (produced specifically as coffins) in funerary practices. In particular, there have been active attempts to compare the Sa Huynh jar coffins with the large jar coffins of the Yeongsan River region of southern Korea. Although these attempts at comparison are academically meaningful, they are lacking in terms of a wider understanding of the ancient burials and funerary practices, contemporaneous to the Sa Huynh culture, that were used throughout Southeast Asia at the time. The Dong Son culture, which was spread out over northern Vietnam and southern China, is characterized by distinctive burials and funerary practices that are different from, but nevertheless contain traces of interaction with, the Sa Huynh culture. In the Laos highlands, stone jars were used as coffins, which can be regarded as illustrating a continuation of the same burial concept, albeit expressed though a different medium (i.e. stone). On the other hand, simple pit burials or wooden coffin burials were mainly used in the regions of Thailand and Cambodia, with the use of jar coffins limited only to infant and child burials. A more developed understanding of the various kinds of burials and funerary practices used throughout Southeast Asia will provide the context in which the jar coffin burial culture of the Yeongsan River region can be better understood in the future. Such an understanding is also necessary in order to understand the long -distance trade network (involving the movement of carnelian, glass beads, etc.) which linked Southeast and Northeast Asia.
