Archaeology in Singapore aims to break new ground
Straits Times, 19 September 2011 (subscription required)
While Singapore now has its first archaeological research unit, veterans said much more groundwork needs to be done to take the field further.
The Archaeological Unit of the Nalanda-Sriwijaya Centre at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (Iseas) was inaugurated by former president S R Nathan last month.
The unit’s three members for now are Associate Professor John Miksic, 64, who heads it, Assistant Professor Goh Geok Yian, 39, and Mr Lim Chen Sian, 36.
