John Norman Miksic is an American-born archaeologist and one of the fifty foreigners recognized in Epigram Books' Not Born in Singapore: Fifth Personalities who Shaped the Nation. Sometimes referred to as "the Indiana Jones of Singapore's history," he has been cited as being one of the key figures who has changed historians' impressions of Southeast Asian history. "Through fragments of earthenware, Chinese pottery, Indian beads, and Javanese jewelry, Miksic and others have pieced together a new story--one that push[ed] the city's origins back some 500 years before Raffles arrival." As C. M. Turnbull of the University of Hong Kong wrote, the work of Miksic and his colleagues "will challenge historians to look at Singapore afresh in an attempt to re-unite twenty-first century Singapore with its distant past." He is perhaps best known for being the archaeologist who discovered archaeological evidence for Singapore's importance as an early major regional port, for literally "identifying it as a centre of commerce and culture in the 14th century." The evidence lies in the "eight tons of artifacts--evidence of a precolonial history that was largely neglected [previously]." As a result of Miksic's years of research and work, Singapore rewrote "the history taught in [its] secondary schools to expand the story of the island state's birth." He was recognized for his work when he was named the winner of Singapore's first 'Best Book on Singapore History' award in 2017. Wang Gungwu "said Prof Miksic’s work earned the gong because it laid the foundations for a fundamental reinterpretation of Singapore’s history and its place in the larger Asian context." Furthermore, Miksic "is a widely respected expert in the archaeology of Southeast Asia. His research interests range from the archaeology of ancient ports on the shors of the Straits of Malacca and the early cities in Indonesia, Cambodia and Myanmar to a deep knowledge of ceramics traded across India and southwest Asia."
