The image currently accompanying the article is of a specimen determined to be of the Ban Chiang culture, which, while named after the site, refers more broadly to the bronze age culture of the area. In this case, the artefact was discovered at Lopburi, not Ban Chiang. Paul_012 ( talk) 21:31, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
There's not a single word in this article about Ban Chiang, only about the archeological site located there. I'll thrash around in Google to see what I can turnip, but why has no one noted this article is misnamed until now? -- Pawyilee ( talk)
There are several different administrative subdivisions named Ban Chiang - the subdistrict (Tambon), a subdistrict municipality (Thesaban Tambon) covering part of the Tambon, and a Tambon Administrative Organization (TAO) covering the remaining parts. And then there are at least 4 administrative villages (Muban) named Ban Chiang - Mu 1,2,11 and 12 of this subdistrict. I have no map, but I guess these all cover the settlement Ban Chiang. But even in Thai it's nearly impossible to find anything about these entities except the municipality which has a website of their own. And since the whole subdistrict has just 11,700 citizen, the municipality just 6,453, there is really not much to tell about them anyway, and they are hardly notable except for the archaeological site. andy ( talk) 21:21, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
Who changed the name of this article? The info box still says Ban Chiang Archaeological Site, and so does the name in Thai. It still doesn't have a d@mned thing to say about the village! -- Pawyilee ( talk) 12:17, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
