A drive on the Ludhiana-Chandigarh road leads to Khamano tehsil and finally to the tranquil beauty of Sanghol (Uchha Pind) where time stands still. Sanghol was a part of the Harappan civilisation and later a part of the kingdom of the Kushan and Gupta dynasty in the medieval times. The Kushan rulers, primarily Buddhists, built stupas for monks. The digging by the Archaeology Department has yielded objects that go back to the ancient Harappan civilisation as well as Buddhist rulers of the medieval times.

There's the beginnings of an interesting discussion about using archaeological data in Second Life, or using Second Life as a teaching resource. I'm more interested in the first idea, of publishing your excavation as an experience rather than as some data and a report. I hadn't even realised that you could link to external datasources in Second Life, but apparently you can, and people are already using this to release their own GIS projects.
