Fossils found in Java indicate man's presence in Southeast Asia more than 500,000 years ago, but until the mid 20th century, little was known of the long span between that time and the early centuries of the Common Era. Discover the varied cultures and ethnicities of the peoples of mainland Southeast Asia with this educational and illustrated map. Published in March 1971, this map accompanied a general map of Asia and the article "Pagan, on the Road to Mandalay."
This vivid and colorful map features a stunning perspective of the Southeast Asia region, including detailed relief paintings and and sharp river valleys. Information on over 20 ethnic and cultural groups accompany colorful illustrations of individuals in traditional garments that pop off the map.
