Lovea, Archaeological site in Puok district, Siem Reap province, Cambodia
The circular mound site spans 210 meters north-south and 312 meters east-west, featuring two concentric embankments and moats surrounding the central elevation.
French archaeologist Louis Malleret first documented the site in the 1950s, leading to discoveries of burials and residential structures dating from second century BCE.
Excavations between 2012 and 2013 uncovered 14 individuals in 12 burials oriented south or south-southeast, along with bronze jewelry and ceramic vessels.
The site location at the intersection of Puok river alluvial fan and Tonle Sap Lake floodplain provides excellent conditions for archaeological research.
Recent LiDAR technology revealed extensive networks of oxcart tracks and rice fields radiating from the central mound, indicating sophisticated transportation systems.
