Identifying Evaluating and Interpreting the Physical Signature of Lumbini for Presentation, Management and Long-term protection Report of the Third Season of Field Operations 2013
|
The site of Lumbini in Nepal was identified as the birthplace of the Buddha by General Rana and Dr Fuhrer of the Archaeological Survey of India in 1896 due to the presence of an Asokan inscription and with the support of records from the fourth century AD Chinese pilgrim Faxian (Coningham 2001). Despite over a century of archaeological research at Lumbini, including recent Japanese-led excavations in 1996, no material from pre-Asokan (third century BC) layers had been recovered, a challenge that the current mission aimed to address in addition to assisting the long-term preservation and management of the site.
