The places explored in the twin districts were Maniparvat, Sugriva Mound, Surhurpur, Bhiti, Kurawan and Nandigram. The discovered antiques have been preserved in the department / displayed in the Kosal Museum. The Department conducts four Refresher courses sponsored by the U.G.C., New Delhi from 11 to 31st December 1995 and 21 May to June 10, 1996 and March 22 to April 11, 1998.
