Description

The site is a well-known Dvaravati settlement since a Buddhist "Ye Dharma…" inscription was discovered here on a terracotta stupa. Thap Chumpon is located in the city district of Nakhon Sawan. It is a round-shaped, moated site with a surrounding rampart. While no excavations have taken place, it is known from an epigraphic study (Ocharoen 1985). Survey work conducted in 2008 and 2009 by co-author Pongkasetkan has revealed carinated potsherds, fragments of terracotta stupas and Chinese ware. The site is located in the Upper Chao Phraya Basin and has several common characteristics and material culture remains. Its location on or near a river system would have allowed for convenient access to travel by waterways. [Source: Murphy Pimchanok - Fifty Years Of Archaeological Research Dong Mae Nang Muang (JSS)]
