Abstract The Angkorian Empire was at its peak from the 10th to 13th centuries CE. It wielded great influence across mainland Southeast Asia and is now one of the most archaeologically visible polities due to its expansive religious building works. This paper presents archaeobotanical evidence from two of the most renowned Angkorian temples largely associated with kings and elites, Angkor Wat and Ta Prohm. But it focuses on the people that dwelt within the temple enclosures, some of whom were involved in the daily functions of the temple. Archaeological work indicates that temple enclosures were areas of habitation within the Angkorian urban core and the temples and their enclosures were ritual, political, social, and economic landscapes. This paper provides the first attempt to reconstruct some aspects of the lives of the non-elites living within the temple enclosures by examining the archaeobotanical evidence, both macroremains and phytoliths, from residential contexts and data derived from inscriptions and Zhou Daguan's historical account dating to the 13th century CE. Research indicates that plants found within the temple enclosure of Ta Prohm and Angkor Wat were grown for ritual or medicinal use, and also formed important components of the diet and household economy.

高棉人并非仅靠稻米生活：在吴哥窟和塔普伦的考古植物学调查

摘要盎格鲁帝国在公元10至13世纪处于鼎盛时期。它在东南亚大陆地区产生了巨大的影响，由于其广泛的宗教建筑工作，现在已成为考古学上最可见的政体之一。本文从吴哥窟（Angkor Wat）和塔普伦（Ta Prohm）这两个最著名的与国王和精英相关的Angkorian寺庙中提供了考古植物学证据。但是它着重于居住在圣殿围墙内的人们，其中一些人参与了圣殿的日常活动。考古工作表明，寺庙围墙是安哥拉城市核心地区的居住区域，寺庙及其围墙是仪式，政治，社会和经济景观。本文通过从居住环境和铭文以及周大观的历史记载中获得的数据，研究了宏观遗迹和植物石器的考古植物学证据，首次尝试重建居住在庙宇外围的非精英阶层的生活。公元13世纪。研究表明，在塔普伦（Ta Prohm）和吴哥窟（Angkor Wat）的庙宇中发现的植物是为祭祀或药用而种植的，它们也构成饮食和家庭经济的重要组成部分。
