The jars are not cisterns??? They could have been used as “Truck Stops”/”artificial oases” for caravans, or forarmies, to allow for rapid strategic redeployment.
Not enough study if they don’t have a guess at an age. Anyone want to fund me to figure it out? Buddha figures are anytime contemporaneous to present.

Virtually no archaeological work has been done in Laos. Recently a small and low funded beginning has been taken in the Luang Prabang (sp?) area. It will be exciting to see what the civilization behind the jars was like but that seems many years off.

I thought the same thing. If this was some kind of a trade route the jars may have been cisterns and storage jars with supplies for travlers or some such.
