> Dear Colleagues,
>
> The proposed conference would focus on Buddhist sites and remains that
> have been worked up during the last six decades or so. It would
> include both kinds of papers - straightforward ones that just report
> archaeological finds; but will also have a second part to it that
> interrogates the methodological/ theoretical frameworks within which
> archaeological work is carried out. Some of the questions that the
> proposed conference will seek to address are: how does one define a
> Buddhist site? How can one show the relationship between a religious
> centre and the lay community through archaeological work? Is it
> possible to meaningfully interpret a multi-religious and multi-ethnic
> landscape through archaeological means?
>
> The proposed conference will greatly facilitate advanced research in
> the archaeology of the region by the comparison of data from various
> parts of the Subcontinent. For the theoretical aspects it will be
> seminal to understand, for example, the development of the concept of
> rock sculpture and rock caves/ hermitages - e.g. in the second half
> of the Millennium all around the Buddhist oikoumene (lit. the
> inhabited earth) - and its reflection in the landscape of the Buddhist
> sites in the region.
>
> The Conference will be held at the Buddhist Cultural Centre, Colombo,
> Sri Lanka for 3 days from 22 to 24 August, 2012.
>
> The SAARC Cultural Centre invites all the Member States to send a
> minimum of four nominations (maximum 10 persons can be nominated by a
> Member State) from amongst the experts and academicians of their
> country.
>
> The SAARC Cultural Centre would also accept the participation of other
> experts from the region (other than the nominees of the respective
> SAARC Member States) as well as from those residing outside the SAARC
> Region provided they are able to meet their travel and accommodation
> expenses to attend the Conference. However, to facilitate their stay
> during the Conference, the SAARC Cultural Centre would assist them in
> securing accommodation in guest houses/ hostels at economic/ subsided
> rates.
>
> The participants would be required to submit their full papers before
