History of Dawei (Thagara Ancinet City)
-----------------------------------------------------
Documentation for Dawei history expands greatly in the 10th century CE when chronicles record a dynasty from Tak ruling at Dawei. There are 9-13th century CE votive tablets and fine sandstone sculptures in Bagan styles. A dynastic line also ruled at Taungkwe on the Dawei Peninsula from 1228-1390 AD (590-752 ME).9 However, Sukhothai-style objects are also found at Dawei, suggesting that was it a valued yet contested area prompting continual attempts at governorship by Upper Myanmar Burmese and Thai.
In the Hanthawaddy period (1287–1539 CE), the city of Weidi was founded (1390 CE (752 ME)) along the estuary of the Dawei River separating the peninsula from the mainland side connecting to Thailand.10 Just before, in 1350 CE, however, Ayutthaya‘s power extended to Tavoy.11 The most abundant artefacts of this era are large tin and lead coins, a form of trade exchange unique to Dawei. The manufacture of these lasted a number of centuries, highlighting widening international trade and including the 16th century CE Portuguese acquisition of Malacca. Later records mention that iron was obtained from the mountains between Myanmar and Thailand and processed in special villages near Tavoy while the tin from Tavoy took the place of copper in certain alloys.12 All the archaeology suggests Dawei was nominally controlled for its port but culturally remained independent, protected by trade with links in all directions.
