Who We Are
Institute of Archaeology and Heritage Studies
The Institute of Archaeology and Heritage Studies (IAHS) is a non-profit academic and research institute founded by archaeology.lk team in 2019. Funded by the esteemed archaeology.lk, the Institute aims to make archaeological and heritage studies accessible to the general public through the Institute’s online courses and thus allow an exploration of the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka.

Here are some photos that were taken during our explorations.
This is our first year into the long journey of archaeological research and exploration that lies ahead, and we look forward to a historic journey ahead.[/porto_testimonial][porto_testimonial view=”transparent” style=”testimonial-style-6″ name=”Archaeologist Chandima Ambanwala” role=”Founding Director – IAHS” photo_id=”443″ quote_color=”#000000″]As an archaeologist, I have always felt that there is still a lot more hidden under our land that can give a deeper understanding of our history.
IAHS is an attempt to provide a means to those who want to quench this curiosity about the socio-cultural history of the Island. Through academics and research, we aim to bridge this gap and make archaeological and heritage studies accessible to the general public of Sri Lanka. As a country, one of the best ways to learn and appreciate our cultural diversity is to connect with our history. And the courses at IAHS do precisely this.[/porto_testimonial][/porto_carousel]
