The only daughter of late Professor Leelananda Prematilleke, she is Professor in Pathology at the Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of Sri Jayewardenepura.

In creating this website, which to her is the achievement of a major life goal, it is her aim not only to create a lasting tribute to her father, but also to  maintain a repository of his work and publications, for the benefit of future generations of Archaeology students and researchers.

The website is created mainly using printed and handwritten documents, soft copies, photographs etc., which are in the personal collection of Prof. Leelananda Prematilleke. 

It was supplemented with personal reminiscences of the main author, and information obtained from recognized websites, family and friends; of these the author is particularly grateful to:

• The PGIAR library (librarian Monica Bulathsinhala, and Inoka Dilhani)
• The Central Cultural Fund library (Chitra and Lalitha)
• Chair Prof. Chulani Rambukwella, Department of Archaeology, University of Peradeniya
