Proceedings of the First International Conference on Spiti, Wolfson College, Oxford, 6th-7th May 2016, edited by Y. Laurent and D. Pritzker
The First International Conference on Spiti was held in Oxford under the auspices of the Tibetan and Himalayan Studies Cluster at Wolfson College on the 6th and 7th of May 2016. Dedicated entirely to the Indo-Tibetan border valley of Spiti, the conference, entitled Recovering the Past and Exploring the Present, welcomed scholars and researchers from the fields of archaeology, history, linguistics, architecture, art conservation, anthropology, and art history (fig.1). At the end of two intensive and rewarding days, it was decided to produce a volume of the conference proceedings that would best illustrate Spiti’s past and present cultural heritage. In the following, a selection of fifteen papers introduces the latest research findings presented during the conference.
