The information gathered from the archaeological excavations is greatly significant to affirm, verify,and test existing knowledge from historical documents. Furthermore,it can clearly support topics of original historical knowledge, which hitherto had no records. The objectives of this article are to present new information and evidences derived from the technical method ofthe archaeological excavation, which had never been revealed so far, and to demonstrate it’s contribution to archaeological knowledge in the Thonburi area.
