The registration fee for the unique endeavour is ₹200.
Aimed at collating data on lost and other relics from elderly people who live in 60 local bodies on the banks of the Periyar, PAMA Institute for the Advancement of Transdisciplinary Archaeological Sciences - a non-profit research organisation which is spearheading the Muziris excavations, has readied a mobile app. This comes close on the heels of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) becoming a prominent partner in the 11th season of the excavations at Pattanam and Mathilakam villages in Ernakulam and Thrissur districts. “The app developed by PAMA research centre will come in handy for volunteers/interns who could visit elderly people and collect data on relics of ancient settlements here,” said P J Cherian, Director of the organisation.More Related News
