Ancient people apparently moved around a lot more than many historians give them credit for.

Exciting but not surprising. Kind of fits in the arena of confirming expectations. A major problem in Southeast Asia is that so much of the construction was wood, so you have to rely on ancient smelters, pottery, moats and some foundations. A lot of the sites now being explored were overlooked for a long time because of scant surface evidence.
Proof that ancient people moved more than we could imagine.
