Read about MaritimEA Research, a featured case study in our 2024-2025 Annual Report.
As noted by Mr Abubakar Shaikh, a community member, ‘If we cannot save our history, cannot save our sites, cannot save our past, what can we do? If we let our sites get destroyed, what is left?’
With a keen focus on awareness-raising, the Digital Heritage Trails Project tackled the digital preservation of archaeological sites vulnerable to erosion caused by rising sea levels in Sindh, Pakistan.
With support from the British Council's Cultural Protection Fund, MaritimEA Research have created high-precision 3D representations of Banbhore, Ratukot, Jam Jaskar Goth, Ranokot and Lahiri Bandar. They worked with the local community to gather local knowledge and folklore around the rich history of the surrounding area and promoted the importance of archaeology through outreach activities for schools and museums.
