46 training on the handling of instruments necessary for surveys. Every year on-site training has been conducted during March, August, and December, and for the past few years we have conducted intensive training during the summertime in August. In 2001, as we were conducting archaeological training at the Banteay Kdei temple, a large number of artifacts comprising 274 Buddhist statues and 1000 Buddhist stone pillars were located in the temple precincts. Later, six Buddhist statues were unearthed in 2010, and one Buddhist statue was excavated in 2016. These issues will be dealt with later. On-site training at the Angkor Wat Western Causeway and the Banteay Kdei temple are core activities of the human resources development project, of the Sophia Mission Team. Human Resource Development Project–An International Voluntary Activity The human resource development project (principally on-site training) of the research team, has of 2017 been realized for the 53rd time. Its international volunteer activities of 28 years have attracted attention both at home and from abroad, and we have secured the honor of receiving the R. Magsaysay Award of 2017. The first archaeological site training session of 1991 was effected two years prior to the establishment of peace in Cambodia, when diplomatic links with Japan had not yet been restored. While the RUFA had duly reopened, due to the massacre of academics during the Pol Pot regime, merely a small number of Cambodian professors managed to return to the university workplace. Precisely at that time, professors of the research team who happened to be experts journeyed via Phnom Penh to the site of the Angkor monuments, and so both on their onward and return journeys I arranged with them to find time to deliver intensive lectures on specialized subjects. These special lectures continued for 10 years, namely from March 1991 to May 2000, and at the RUFA, the Japanese professors who occupied the stage for the sake of such lectures, were linked to 16 specialized fields.
