Notes

{{short description|Book by Madeleine Colani}}The Megaliths of Upper Laos (orig. French: Les Megaliths du Haut Laos) is a 1930 work of archaeology by Madeleine Colani, examining and cataloging approximately ten thousand megaliths in Upper Laos.^[1] Prior to Colani's work, the megaliths were considered among the more mysterious megaliths.^[2] Colani, after reviewing the Plain of Jars for decades, cataloged the megaliths and argued "convincingly" in The Megaliths of Upper Laos that they were urns,^[2] used in Bronze Age funerary rites.^[3]The Megaliths of Upper Laos, a two-volume, 600-page work that both cataloged and described the artifacts, and presented Colani's theories as to their origin and use, has been described as Colani's "great contribution to archaeological literature".^[2] The book brought the megaliths to the broader attention of the Western public and scholarly community.^[1]
