GUEST TALK ON PAST CIVILIZATIONS



Students of Grade VI had the opportunity to attend a guest talk on Past Civilizations by Ms. Rachna Lodaya, a qualified Brahmi script trainer who is currently pursuing Ph.D. in Archaeology. The speaker laid emphasis on sources of History, authenticity, evaluation and collection of data and processes involved in excavating things of the past. The interrelation of Archaeology with other streams such as, Geology, Zoology, Biology, Anthropology, etc. aroused much interest and curiosity among the students. They  enquired many questions pertaining to the topic as to how do we know  the excavated object is how old or to which time period they belong to, how do we preserve them  and so on and were satisfied when their doubts were clarified.
