説明

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The Prasat Sour Prat towers (hereafter <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">PSP</jats:styled-content>) were built just in front of the Royal Palace and Royal Plaza in Angkor Thom. This location is very important. However, despite the significance of the location, a laterite block was used as the primary building material of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">PSP</jats:styled-content>. This study aims to understand why <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">PSP</jats:styled-content> was built with laterite blocks, and speculates on the relationship between the method of construction of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">PSP</jats:styled-content> and the period in which it was constructed. Additionally, by comparing them with laterite structures of a Koh Ker ruin, the features of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">PSP</jats:styled-content> are better understood. Understanding the motive behind using laterite is a key aspect that will help in understanding why <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">PSP</jats:styled-content> masonry methods have some distinctive features. The processing and masonry techniques of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">PSP</jats:styled-content> indicate that its features were obtained via rapid construction.</jats:p>
