The Australian Research Council (ARC) will fund the exploration of the enigmatic megalithic jars that linked northeast India with South East Asia thousands of years ago.
Researchers at the Gauhati University (GU), North-Eastern Hill University (Nehu) along with their Australian counterparts are conducting a research study that establishes northeast Indias possible connections with Indonesia, Myanmar and Laos as early as the late second millennium BC.
This interdisciplinary project aims to document and explore the cultural connections between the geographically disparate megalithic cultures of Laos and India and create an enduring digital record of these threatened cultural assets
