Angkor Borei (Khmer: អង្គរបូរី) is a district located in Takéo Province, in southern Cambodia.
[3] This ancient city was an important settlement of the Kingdom of Funan and may have been its capital.
It may have been the Thinae, or Sinae Metropolis located by Claudius Ptolemy as the farthest known city to the east in his Geography.
The first objectives were:[6] 1) Documentation of the site's layout and the range of its archaeological features 2) Evaluation of the integrity of subsurface materials and description of the site's stratigraphy 3) Collection of samples for dating portions of the archaeological site 4) Reconstructing the hydrology and natural environment of the early historic period in this region In this site various archaeological methods were used such as surface survey and mapping, test excavations, auger sampling and coring, and trenching with a backhoe.
[7] Unfortunately, the archeological project was disturbed by looting and illicit trafficking of Khmer antiquities, which continues as a serious problem into the 21st century.
