Abstract

IN MEMORIAM Brian Vincent (26 March 1938 – 30 March 2016) Dr. Brian Vincent, Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries (FSA), died in 2016 just a few days after his 78th birthday. Brian came to archaeology in 1975. After a successful career as a builder, he enrolled in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Otago for his B.A. His deep interest in the discipline led to his undertaking doc- toral research at the Thai Bronze and Iron Age site of Ban Na Di, where he analyzed ceramic artifacts. Following a period of study at Southampton with David Peacock FSA, he examined an assemblage of mortuary vessels and occupation ceramics, the first analysis of its kind in Southeast Asia. His identification of local and trade vessels Brian Vincent 249 on the basis of temper variations contributed much to the overall social interpretation of the site. In 1985, Brian Vincent spent many months as the ceramicist on the excavation of Khok Phanom Di.
