Archaeology dept comes up in Cotton College
Staff Reporter
GUWAHATI, May 3 - The Cotton College State University (CCSU) has set up its
department of archaeology to give impetus to the study of archaeology,
considering the archaeological importance of the northeastern region.
CCSU Vice Chancellor Prof DJ Saikia said in a statement here today that a lot
remains to be done in the area of archaeology in the Northeast. Therefore,
besides offering a master’s programme, the department has plans to focus its
research interests on the developmental stages of diverse cultures in
pre-historic and historic periods in the Northeast and its neighbouring
Himalayan regions.
In-depth studies on the origin and development of rice cultivation focusing on
paleo-botanical evidence would also be an important area of research. Using
modern technology to date archaeological layers and analyses of metal objects,
the department hopes to make significant advances in understanding the region’s
past.
The department will also take a lead in heritage management, conservation of
cultural properties and gradually also offer applied archaeology courses, in
addition to areas such as museology, said Prof Saikia.
The department is currently headed by Dr Manjil Hazarika, who did his PhD on
ethno-linguistic pre-historic archaeology from the University of Berne,
Switzerland. He is part of the Indo-French team studying human origins in the
Indian subcontinent, which discovered animal fossils bearing man-made cut marks
dating back 2.6 million years in the Shivalik Hills. This pushes back the
antiquity of human presence in India by about a million years, said Prof Saikia
.
