Ancient Structures Unearthed
Hasan
Mahmud, Narsingdi, 05 April: The Department of Archeology recently
excavated an ancient city at Sujapur in Narsingdi district. This ancient city
is approximately a thousand years old and a large number of archaeological remains
were found at the site. The Department of Archeology conducted the excavation under
the Ministry of Cultural Affairs.
The regional
director of Dhaka Division, Masud Khan supervised the whole operation. The
department started the programme of excavation in 2009. The excavation will
continue. During the time they excavated a considerable portion of the site and
the rest of the work would be carried out step by step by the department.
The excavated
structures are yet to be identified but the archeologists assume that one of
those might be a water reservoir. Apart from these structural remains the
excavation has revealed some important antiques like semi-precious stones,
beds, glass beds, terracotta beds, pottery, northern black polish ware, etc.
The
Archeological Department of Jahangirnagar University also took part in this
excavation.
