Samrong Sen, Archaeological site in Kampong Chhnang Province, Cambodia.
Located on the east bank of the Stueng Chinit River, Samrong Sen contains extensive shell middens reaching depths of 4.5 meters beneath the surface.
The site dates from 1500 BC to 500 BC, with initial discoveries made in 1876 by M. Rouques, Director of the Fluvial Transportation Company.
The excavations revealed pottery vessels with incised decorations connecting the ancient inhabitants to communities across Thailand and Vietnam through shared artistic patterns.
The archaeological site stands 22 kilometers from Kampong Chhnang provincial capital, with access requiring consideration of seasonal flooding patterns.
Local residents near the site maintain traditional practices of hydrated lime extraction from shells, continuing methods documented during the earliest archaeological explorations.
