In Bangladesh, many archaeological monuments and sites
are located in areas inhabited by people living under
the poverty line. However, for lack of care, many of
these monuments are in a state of near ruin and may
soon be lost. The research project undertaken by Professor
Enamul Haque, a distinguished historian of international
repute, aims at preparing authentic documentation on
these rich pieces of national cultural heritage, bring
awareness to the local people, through participatory
research, about the importance of their preservation
and help the poor in these areas to benefit from the
resulting development of tourism and sale of archaeology-related
arts and crafts.
