BOOK SUMMARY OF ARCHAEOLOGY AS HISTORY IN EARLY SOUTH ASIA
About the Book:
This volume fulfils a long-felt need in South Asian studies by initiating an
interdisciplinary dialogue between archaeology and history. It challanges
traditional assumptions derived from text-based archaeology dating to the
Alexxander Cunningham era and re-examins the role of archives,monumental
architecture and artefects in the reconstruction of the past. The volume thus
endorses an active involvement between Archaeology and History. It is hoped that
this will then lead to increased inputs in the study and practice of
archaeology.
