Summary
"This is a publication of the long awaited results of the excavations at Mantai in Sri Lanka between 1980 and 1984. It is a vital document for the history and exploration of Mantai since the early 19th century and is a tool for any future excavators. Even more important is Mantai's location at the crossroads of of cultural relations between China and the Western world and also between India and Sri Lanka, resulting in the survival of material evidence for over 1500 years until it's demise in the early 11th century A.D."
