It has been assumed that the origin of the sandstone materials for constructing Angkor monuments derived from the southeast foot of the Kulen mountain. However, pedestrian survey surround this area was restricted due to the existence of land mines. Safetince safety of this area was currently confirmed, a large number of sandstone quarry including the large scale of the sites were newly discovered from the periphery of this region. Because of these findings, we could find the location of the main stone source of the ancient Angkor monuments. In addition to this region, comprehensive research on the quarry sites was conducted in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and discussing on the quarrying techniques of the ancient Khmer stonemason. As was known in the past, general quarrying technique, groove curving at the sides of blocks, is commonly observed at wide area, but other methods such as wedge use and long bar methods were confirmed for cutting out the large blocks. Ancient stonemason at the quarry site might be conscious of the final shape and dimension of the stone blocks at the construction site, in particular the stone blocks for the statue had been roughly engraved at the quarry site for weight saving during the transportation.
