Students from the History department took part in Season III of the Excavation at Polonnaruwa, which was organized by the Department of Archaeology at the University of Kelaniya in partnership with La Trobe University in Australia, from February 3rd to February 24th, 2025. This excavation was a component of an ongoing Urban Landscape Research Program in Polonnaruwa. Our students had earlier engaged in Seasons I and II of the excavation, which enhanced their practical experience in the field. Prof. Prishanta Gunawardhana, Chair and Senior Professor of Archaeology at the Department of Archaeology, University of Kelaniya, extended an invitation to these six undergraduate archaeology students to participate in the excavation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
