The study conducted geomagnetic research at the Tonle Bak site in Cambodia, recovering geomagnetic information from the 11th to 14th centuries. It revealed a sharp change in the geomagnetic field between 1200 and 1300 CE, providing evidence for the possible existence of low-latitude flux expulsion. The study suggests a new focus on detailed geomagnetic research in low-latitude areas around the equator and exploration of related dynamic processes.
Extensive spatial and temporal distribution of high-quality data are essential for understanding regional and global behaviors of the geomagnetic field. We carried out chronological and archaeomagnetic studies at the Angkor-era iron-smelting site of Tonle Bak in Cambodia in Southeast Asia, an area with no data available to date. We recovered high-fidelity full-vector geomagnetic information from the 11th to 14th century for this region, which fill gaps in the global distribution of data and will significantly improve the global models. These results reveal a sharp directional change of the geomagnetic field between 1200 and 1300 CE, accompanied by an intensity dip between 1100 and 1300 CE. The fast geomagnetic variation recorded by our data provides evidence for the possible existence of low-latitude flux expulsion. Related discussions in this paper will inspire a new focus on detailed geomagnetic research in low-latitude areas around the equator, and exploration of related dynamic processes.
