An increased pace in archaeological research in recent decades has yielded a construction of the history of prehistoric and early historic India primarily in terms of archaeology. This book narrates the flow of India’s grassroots archaeological history from the palaeolithic beginnings to c. AD 300, when early historic India assumed its basic form. Being the only ‘current’ introductory text on Indian archaeology, it incorporates the latest research in the field. The book reconstructs the historical development of human – natural resource interaction in the subcontinent in a lucid style with maps, illustrations, and tables. Written by one of the foremost experts on Indian archaeology, this book is an essential reading for students and specialists of archaeology and early South Asian history.
