and Thailand inspired some scholars to argue against the accepted
theory. These scholars contended that the Southeast Asian people
were cultivating plants, making pottery, and working in bronze about
the same time as the peoples of the ancient Middle East. The western
half of the mainland of Southeast Asia has always been thickly
forested, so it was natural that the first material to be used for artistic
purposes should have been wood.
