Description
This interdisciplinary project aims to explore the cultural connections between the geographically disparate megalithic cultures of Laos and India and to create an enduring digital record of these threatened cultural assets. Using archaeological science and pioneering technologies the project will create new knowledge, museum exhibitions, strengthening cultural relations and public diplomacy. The research will advance archaeological knowledge, heritage management processes and lead to economic, social and cultural benefit in these regions. With an increasing awareness of the need to protect and conserve global cultural assets, there is an opportunity for Australia to take a lead in developing innovative technological solutions.
