Finger-marked designs on ancient bricks in Myanmar

Moore, Elizabeth; Myint, Aung

Abstract

Bricks with finger-marked designs are found at many
of the ancient cities of Myanmar. A comparative study of the
bricks, the designs, and the sites where they are found has
been conducted over the last twenty-five years. Aerial photographs
have long been used in Myanmar, but there has
been no previous classification of the ancient settlements,
numbering over one hundred, whose walls and/ or moats
make them visible from the air.
