Welcome to the South Asian Archaeology Laboratory
Cotsen Institute of Archaeology
The South Asian Archaeology Laboratory at UCLA was established in 2002 to highlight the archaeology of South Asia, the area encompassed by the modern-day countries of India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. South Asia provides a wealth of exciting archaeological data, starting from the paleolithic period hundreds of thousands of years ago to the Indus Valley (Harappan) periods, the Early Historic era, and the medieval period with its palaces and temples that continue to grace the modern landscape of the Indian subcontinent.
We invite you to correspond with the laboratory's director, Dr. Monica L. Smith (smith@anthro.ucla.edu), for further information about the research programs and student opportunities being developed in the South Asian Laboratory.
