Aung Thaw

Aung Thaw (Burmese: အောင်သော် [ʔàʊɰ̃ θɔ̀]; born c. 1920) is a Burmese archaeologist and Emeritus Director-General of the Archaeological Survey of Burma.

Between 1959 and 1968, he excavated and studied intensely the historical site of Beikthano (Peikthanomyo).[1] He published many works which are today seen as authoritative papers on this site including a Preliminary report on the excavation at Peikthanomyo and his conclusive findings in 1968.[2][3] In 1972, he published a book on Historical sites in Burma and in 1993 co-authored a book on Ancient Myanmar Cities with Than Shwe, Sein Maung Oo, and Myint Aung.[4][5]
