Project Team

The MAHSA project benefits from the deep knowledge and expertise of colleagues in a number of South Asian and European institutions.

A core team based at the University of Cambridge is coordinating the project, and is working with colleagues in two partner institutions, the Catalan Institute of Classical Archaeology (ICAC) and the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona (UPF). The project is also collaborating with government bodies and academic institutions in both Pakistan and India, including the Directorate of Archaeology and Museums, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa; the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar; the University of Kerala; and the University of the Punjab.

As the work progresses, we will continue to forge links across heritage management and research communities in order to build knowledge and advance the ultimate goals of the project: to document, disseminate, protect and preserve.
