TAASA Archaeology in Asia Lecture Series

In this 2nd talk in TAASA’s lecture series, we benefited from archaeologist Bob Hudson’s personal involvement in the successful campaign for heritage listing of the walled cities of Pyu (1st – 3rd centuries BCE) and the current campaign to achieve UNESCO status for Bagan. Dr Hudson gave us a brief but thorough background to the significance of these sights and amusing insights into the politics and complexity of the UNESCO heritage listing process.
