Megalithic Connections: Imperilled Cultural Heritage in Laos and India.

这个跨学科项目旨在记录和探索老挝和印度地理上不同的巨石文化之间的文化联系，并为这些受威胁的文化资产创建一个持久的数字记录。该项目将整合考古科学和先进的数据采集技术，创造具有全球意义的新知识；推进遗产管理进程，包括可转让的探索性技术；并帮助巩固这些地区的经济、社会和文化利益。随着人们日益意识到保护全球文化资产的必要性，澳大利亚将在开发突破性技术解决方案和新的跨国研究和实践能力方面发挥带头作用。

This interdisciplinary project aims to document and explore the cultural connections between the geographically disparate megalithic cultures of Laos and India and create an enduring digital record of these threatened cultural assets. Integrating archaeological science and pioneering data capture technologies, the project will create globally significant new knowledge; advance heritage management processes including transferrable exploratory technologies; and help underpin economic, social and cultural benefit in these regions. With an increasing awareness of the need to conserve global cultural assets, Australia will take the lead in developing breakthrough technological solutions and new cross-country research and practitioner capability.
