A team of officials from the Netherlands Department of Archaeology, invited by Sri Lanka’s Department of Archaeology, is currently engaged in extensive research activities in the Northern Province, particularly in Jaffna.
The expert team is conducting a 15-day field study across various locations in the North, focusing on archaeological and geological investigations.
During the study, data related to soil composition, underground archaeological traces, and historically significant structures are being collected and analysed using modern technological equipment.
Field investigations are being carried out extensively in areas including Nallur, Neduntheevu (Delft Island), and Karainagar.
The research is expected to bring to light new findings and evidence related to the archaeological heritage of the Northern Province.
