Abstract

Abstract: Archaeological research on Śrīkṣetra has been ongoing for over a century, with surveying, recording, identifying monuments, excavation, and restoration. However, systematic excavation and the application of scientific measures to improve our understanding of the history and culture of the most influential and largest of the Pyu ancient cities have only lately been carried out there. Recent archaeological work by national and international scholars has introduced new ways to approach the details of Pyu urban morphology and to examine sociocultural changes, the dissemination of the early South Asian Buddhist tradition, and urbanization in early Southeast Asia.
