amongst the South Cardamom’s natural resources is marked on a map by Trapeang
Roung Community Based Eco- Tourism.
The

research team aiming at developing the eco tourist area.
‘It
is 67 Kilometers based on GPS far from Trapeang Roung downtown by Areng river
or jungle trail.’ Regarding the ancient
jars, said Kun Savuth, the chief of Trapeang Roung Community Based Eco-Tourism
Phen
Den a member of research team also leased ‘we set the ancient jar site on our
eco tourism map. It is also attractive if we compare to the ancient jar site of
Chi Phat CBET.’
‘There are only 5 ancient jars at this rare
site, but there are more jars in our tourism land’ He expected.
This
jar site has yet to be experimented from any expert archeologists but Chi Phat

marked as ancient jars because they are really identical to ancient jars of Chi
Phat.

lived the Khmer rouge in the 1980s and 1990s, but they had never seen them.’,
said a man who was a former Khmer rouge guerrilla.
Most
jars are broken and tucked on the ground at the flank of the mountain about 40
meters high. It located in the mountain slope above Areng Rever end where the
river joins 3 junctions. This spot called O’ Chek Dei, for it has 2 kinds of
landform, black and brown.
