recalled and historicized. It guides us to think afresh of the histories of
antiquarianism in South Asia, explore the impetus of collecting and curatorial
practices within the scholarship of pre-colonial India, and investigate the
diverse linkages within the histories of Indian archaeology. It encourages a
focus upon issues of historiography, methodology and notions of evidence and
looks
