Local schoolteacher Hanif Pathan and his son Habibulla Pathan began collecting these relics in the 1930s and later conducted studies. But for a long time, professional archaeologists in Bangladesh had ignored this potentially important archaeological site. After 60 years, archeological exploration began in 1989, followed by regular excavation in 2000.
