Tests have confirmed that a wooden boat found buried in a dry riverbed near Cambodia's famous Angkor Wat temple complex is from the early 13th century.

Apsara Authority spokesman Long Kosal said tests by a research institute in New Zealand confirmed the age of the 42ft boat, which was carved from a single tree trunk.
