Abstract
⺠We analyzed 57 Buddhist as well as ViÅÅuite and Åivaite sculptures of Bayon style. ⺠We analyzed samples from natural outcrops and quarries in central Cambodia. ⺠The great majority of the sculptures are made of a specific sandstone rich in volcanic detritus. ⺠A localized source of stone was exploited for the production of Bayon style sculptures. ⺠Similar sandstone is outcropping about 100 km east of Angkor, where traces of quarrying are found.
