 because she is working in the university also as one of my students and we work together so we thought that we should make this venture but unfortunately exam time is now so he couldn't come so you know he has made an explanation about his anthropology we are basically anthropologists and he also has given some example of the cultural resources both tangible and intangible he has also given this been a sort of introduction that I have said about the cultural resource management that was introduced by archaeologists and it was parallel to material resource management and primary objective was to preserve tangible cultural heritage including historic properties older properties museum collection sites etc and cultural resource management has chosen up as an endeavor by the Asiatic Society and its founder Sir William Jones 1784 and then the name of Alexander Cunningham also a British administrator is very important because he has done a lot of work for reviving the heritages in India and Robert Brucefoot is also to be mentioned because he also was a geologist but he was the person who for the first time discovered prehistoric tool from India so now the archaeological remains are there and legality is there but what happens there are many threats and these are firstly natural events of course activities of plants are quick flag but there are also human actions and these are incidental some are incidental some are intentional and incidental are housing cultivation of course we have law for if there is any kind of archaeological remain found in a foundation of a building or construction or mining or whatever they have to tell that inform that to the government of the archaeological survey of India but no that always it happens and so that's gives me destroys the thing and there are of course intentional ones are also there archaeological survey of India is a big survey which has gone back as far as 1810 and it has grown up and there are a much more institutional areas for preservation and these are different law starting from 1817 and to last that revision was done at 2010 and then after independence there are many more changes that have been done and ratification of the law have been done so this is one of the sites that we have discovered where which is very important because this has shown for the first time that in eastern part of India it was not bronze but it was brass so because zinc is more easily available in this part rather than tin and so brass also the brass industry is much more developed and it has got its link with the south east Asia where as you know much work had been done on the brass and brass is a very ancient oil that has been found in this area and actually though these kinds of ornaments had grown up and found but the basic two types were still stone so we have another important aspect in the cultural um where we call it chocolate meaning both copper and lithic that had went on because you know metagogy was a kind of knowledge which was very quite expensive and also people who knew it they kept it secret so common people had to use more of the cheap materials in the form of stones so these are some of the factors that are rounding out though we have all the legislations these are the aerosols which are carrying out away the tools as you see that actually pretty sturdy tools are washed down and so it is where it becomes very difficult to find their actual association and there are also people who walk around and bring in devastation building up dams and other things these are also bringing in a lot of changes like in that so there are another site that he has taken up where also we get all these kinds of variations that are found and these are the types of these destructions that are being done because of quarrying activities for stones quarrying activities that are going on in different parts and denudation also is bringing out the bringing about the soil erosion and thus there are also cultivations where the trees are cut down the plant land is prepared for plant and many of the archaeological findings are thrown away this is similar kind of activity that had brought in ravages to the site this is another site in Bengal and in where I come from and that is a flat land very much similar to Amsterdam I would say because the city Calcutta is also below the sea level so now we have this kind of land where these embankments are there but even then so these are the natural destructions that are being done about so this is another part we are also you see this is a historical site where one of the Buddhist monasteries were there this has been dug up by the excavated excavated by the archaeological survey of India but there is no proper preservation here so people are going down walking down through that they have made a you can see a road through this monument and thus the preservation is lost then similarly vehicles are going around cows are grazing lots of garbage is thrown people are and picnic and things like that there are some local preservation so some of the local people who are very interested in the cultural heritages they just have from their form their private major to see it's a home someone's home and he has they have made a kind of private museum maybe in this way they have preserved some of the things that have come up from the archaeological site but not much knowledge with the date and the stratum and such other thing so the problems that are identified are the government has mainly given archaeological remains of historical period are more emphasized upon there are limitations of found most of the prehistoric sites are not easily accessible conservation work is time consuming and lack of awareness among the local people so there should be an alternative thinking by way of public archaeology where people should be local people should be considered taking given awareness of their own heritage so that they should preserve them for their own culture the majority has given some measures which are to be taken into consideration that is public involvement then awareness through schooling system awareness camping surrounding areas of the site media forecasting then multi disciplinary involvement thank you very much
