Dear
Mr. Plant,
Thank
you for your letter and kind words about GEO. With regards your query on
archaeological diggings in Anuradhapura, a call to the Sri Lankan Consul at
Wynnard House in Sydney assures me that he may have information available if
you are willing to pay his place a visit. Otherwise I suggest you write to him
or telephone him on 29 5313, or you could also call the High Commissioner in
Canberra (062) 953521.
Unfortunately
my own research for a small article on the ancient cities did not extend that
deeply, and I do not recall coming across any material on chicken remains.
Thank you for the book. There may be a story for GEO on it, someday, specially
the Australian chook!
Yours
truly,
Alfredo
