The Department of Archaeology at the University of Kelaniya reached another milestone in international academic collaboration as Senior Lecturer Ms K.V.J. Koshalee served as a distinguished Resource Person at the inaugural event of Spectrum 2025-26: International Multidisciplinary Seminar Series. The event, held on December 12th, 2025, was hosted by Sree Narayana College, University of Kerala, in Thiruvananthapuram, India.

Centred on the theme "Revisiting Archaeological Thought in India and Sri Lanka," the seminar provided a sophisticated platform for regional scholarly exchange.

Conducted in a Hybrid Mode, the seminar ensured a global reach, allowing scholars and students from across the world to engage with the discourse. Ms Koshalee’s successful participation not only showcases her individual expertise but also underscores the Department of Archaeology’s significant contribution to international academic dialogue and its commitment to strengthening ties with global research institutions.
