Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This encyclopedia was initiated to accomplish the ambitious task of presenting the findings of the last 150 years of Indian archaeology in a single compendium. More than 100 scholars were selected to contribute essays dealing with the prehistory, protohistory, & the ancient historical period up to the 12th century. Volume 1 is organized into 20 subject chapters including dating, pottery, rock art, settlements, technology, cultures, etc. A third of this volume is devoted to the chapter on cultures, which are defined & named basically by time periods, e.g., Mesolithic, Neolithic, Iron Age, etc. Volume 1 is copiously indexed & extensive bibliographic references are provided at the ends of sections within the chapters. Volume 2 is a gazetteer of known & excavated sites arranged alphabetically; extensive treatment is given to large & important sites. Each volume makes references to appropriate entries in the other. Although the introduction mentions the general reader, the encyclopedia is written by archaeologists & primarily for archaeologists; one needs a good background in archaeology to find it useful. The entries provide highly detailed & specific information. Entries are well written & this will remain the most authoritative reference work in its area for years. A must acquisition for graduate & research libraries with collections in this field.--C. J. Busick, University of Colorado.

Download or read book Worldly Gurus and Spiritual Kings written by Tamara I. Sears and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-10 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneering book is the first full-length study of the matha, or Hindu monastery, which developed in India at the turn of the first millennium. Rendered monumentally in stone, the matha represented more than just an architectural innovation: it signaled the institutionalization of asceticism into a formalized monastic practice, as well as the emergence of the guru as an influential public figure. With entirely new primary research, Tamara I. Sears examines the architectural and archaeological histories of six little-known monasteries in Central India and reveals the relationships between political power, religion, and the production of sacred space. This important work of scholarship features scrupulous original measured drawings, providing a vast amount of new material and a much-needed contribution to the fields of Asian art, religious studies, and cultural history. In introducing new categories of architecture, this book illuminates the potential of buildings to reconfigure not only social and ritual relationships but also the fundamental ontology of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India's history and culture is ancient and dynamic, spanning back to the beginning of human civilization. Beginning with a mysterious culture along the Indus River and in farming communities in the southern lands of India, the history of India is punctuated by constant integration with migrating peoples and with the diverse cultures that surround the country. Placed in the center of Asia, history in India is a crossroads of cultures from China to Europe, as well as the most significant Asian connection with the cultures of Africa. The Historical Dictionary of Ancient India provides information ranging from the earliest Paleolithic cultures in the Indian subcontinent to 1000 CE. The ancient history of this country is related in this book through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on rulers, bureaucrats, ancient societies, religion, gods, and philosophical ideas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illustrations: 24 B/W Illustrations and 16 Maps Description: The Archaeology Of The Deccan Routes: The Ancient Routes From The Ganga Plain To The Deccan About the Book : This book sets out to trace the routs which linked the Ganga-Yamuna plain between Rajgriha and Mathura with Andhra and Maharashtra in the ancient period. What has emerged is the essential framework of a complex network of route still traceable on the ground. This network has also been compared with the corresponding evidence in the mediaeval and later historic records, and it has been argued that, although the routes of these later periods hyad partly changed their alignments with the rise of new economic and political centres of power, the ancient alingments did not die out but continued to function at the first field-study of its kind in the context of ancient Indian routes.
