  • Geochronologies from the Kathmandu Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site
    Geoarchaeological Assessment of Post-earthquake Kasthamandap Working Paper 3 May 2019 Geochronologies from the Kathmandu Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site: Optically Stimulated Luminescence measurement of monument foundation sediments and radiocarbon measurement of timbers. Kinnaird, T.C.1, and Simpson, I.A.2 1School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of St Andrews 2School of Biological and Environmental Sciences, University of Stirling Nepal was struck by two major earthquakes on the 25th April and the 12th May 2015, which devastated large areas of the county, with substantial loss of life and livelihoods, and destroying both rural and urban infrastructure and property. The earthquakes and associated aftershocks damaged and destroyed much of Nepal’s unique cultural heritage, including monuments within the Kathmandu Valley’s UNESCO World Heritage Site of Universal Outstanding Value. These damaged monuments are currently subject to a major program of consultation, reconstruction and conservation. As part of this, geoarchaeological investigations are underway on the foundation sediments of the collapsed monuments within the damaged Durbar Squares of Hanuman Dhoka and Bhaktapur and the temple complex of Pashupati. This report summaries: a) the OSL investigations on foundation sediments to the Changu Narayan and Vatsala Temples (Bhaktapur) and Jaisideval, Kathamandap, Pashupati and Trailokya Mohan Temples (Kathmandu; Table 1).; b) the radiocarbon measurements from timbers salvanged from the Kasthsmandap monument The background to these investigations, and the descriptions of the methods and protocols used in determining luminescence ages have been presented in three interim reports – Kinnaird et al. (2016), Kinnaird and Simpson (2018) and Kinnaird et al. (2018). The technical details are not re- produced here, but a summary of the techniques and protocols employed in the OSL analyses is appended in ‘Supplementary Data Files’.

    Nepal-3 p1-28 colour-Q9_Prelims Template 2/20/20 4:17 PM Page 1 ROBIN BOUSTEAD (far right) first fell in love with the Himalaya in 1993 and has returned every year since. With a group of friends he conceived the idea of the most challenging trek in the world along a route encompassing the entire Himalaya from end to end. This became known as the Great Himalaya Trail (GHT). Robin began researching new trekking routes that link each of the himals in 2002. On his first full traverse of the GHT, an epic jour- ney of six months over two seasons, he lost over 20% of his body weight. He has now completed high traverses of the Indian, Bhutanese and Nepal Himalayan ranges as well as dozens of shorter treks.
