Abstract

Archaeology in Cambodia has grown exponentially since the end of the Khmer Rouge period and the establishment of the Paris Peace Agreement of 1991. Several institutions are responsible for overseeing this growth including the APSARA Authority, the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts (MOCFA), the Royal University of Fine Arts (RUFA), and more recently the Royal Academy of Cambodia (RAC). This entry discusses the roles these institutions have played in the revival of archaeological research in Cambodia, Cambodian perspectives on the advance of archaeology in their country, and suggestions for future goals of archaeological research in Cambodia.
