It is the definitive text on the prehistoric archaeology of the island. The systemic interaction of man and environment is viewed within a time-frame spanning over 125 ,000 years - probably 25 0,000 and possibly 500,000 - up to the beginning of the historical period at ca. 500 BC. This represents the very foundation of Sri Lankan culture, an aspect which has hitherto been enshrouded in myth, legend and archaeological nebulosity.

    Extractions: ri Lanka is an island nation located about 35 miles off the southern tip of India. The island is divided into two distinct climatic zones, the Dry Zone and the Wet Zone. The Wet Zone is located in the central highlands and southwestern corner of the island, and receives an average about 50 inches of rain, spread relatively evenly over the course of the year. This is enough to sustain rainforest vegetation. The Dry Zone covers the remaining 70% of the island and although it receives between 30 and 70 inches of rainfall a year, it all falls only during one three month rainy season and the rest of the year remains dry ( DeSilva 1992 Peiris 1992 According to the Mahavamsa, one of the traditional chronicals of early Sri Lankan history, King Asoka of India sent his son and daughter to Sri Lanka from India to establish Buddhism on the island during the first century B.C.E. His son started the first order of monks, and his daughter the first order of nuns on the island. The religious beliefs of the Sinhalese before Buddhism is not known, although it is thought to be some form of Brahmanism. The Dipavamsa, Mahavamsa and Culavamsa, were written by Buddhist monks, or debatably by nuns, and they attempt to increase Sri Lanka's importance to world Buddhism, going as far as claiming that the Buddha's death coincided with Vijaya's arrival on the island ( DeSilva 1981: 4 ). The traditional historical texts of Sri Lanka were part of a thriving civilization, members of whom wanted it to be the ideal Buddhist state. The chronicals try to verify this claim. One story told is that the Buddha visited the island three times, and predicted the domination of this civilization over the indigenous population, the Veddas, who are referred to as demons. On his last visit he left his footprint at the top of Adam's Peak, one of the highest mountains in Sri Lanka, and a popular pilgrimage spot. Pali texts mention no references to the Buddha ever leaving eastern India (

The Buddha encouraged his disciples to undertake spiritual practices during the full moon period and Sri Lankan Buddhists spend these days in meditation and prayer. Each Poya day is related to an incident in the life of the Buddha or to a historic Buddhist event. January (Duruthu)

Executive Summary Introduction The Living Heritage Trust The Traditional Village or Puranagama ... Conclusion Executive Summary This report is based on the findings of a privately funded initiative, which has conducted over one and half years of formal field study based on over twenty years of working experience in this sphere. Kudumbigala is the name of an abandoned region in the jungle belonging to the villagers of Panama, situated close to the Kumbukkan Oya estuary in Yala East National Park. Nearby is Okanda Devale , a temple shrine dedicated to Skanda-Murukan, situated on a rocky outcrop along the seacoast. The Park is visited via the Eastern Province through the town of Pottuvil (Arugam Bay), the village of Panama and then along a gravel road through Helawa to Kudumbigala and Okanda. There were once several Panama families living in Kudumbigala during the cultivation season. The escalation of the war led to the villagers as well as the Department of Wildlife Conservation fleeing the area. Except for the Special Task Force of the Sri Lanka Police who are in control of Panama, this area is now a gray area, frequented by only transient guerrillas, passing military, and food gatherers. The presence of Wildlife Department officials recommences at the Menik Ganga. In effect, the 60-km cart track from Panama to the Menik Ganga is not policed by any authority. The Sri Lanka Military occasionally carry out operations in this area, and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ealam (LTTE) are also present. Outsiders hardly visit the region in spite of its natural beauty, and visitors to the National Park now enter from the south and stop at the Menik Ganga, not daring to cross.

Sri Lanka Background English was the official language of Sri Lanka until 1957, and is still widely spoken today. A bill was finally passed making Sinhalese the only official language of the country on December 31, 1960, but the Tamil-speaking minority led mass demonstrations against it in early 1961. It wasn't until January 1966, that Tamil become the official administrative language in the northern and eastern parts of the island. The Tamil Tigers still want more than that.
