Download or read book The Archaeology of Knowledge Traditions of the Indian Ocean World written by Himanshu Prabha Ray and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-11-18 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines knowledge traditions that held together the fluid and overlapping maritime worlds of the Indian Ocean in the premodern period, as evident in the material and archaeological record. It breaks new ground by shifting the focus from studying cross-pollination of ideas from textual sources to identifying this exchange of ideas in archaeological and historical documentation. The themes covered in the book include conceptualization of the seas and maritime landscapes in Sanskrit, Arabic and Chinese narratives; materiality of knowledge production as indicated in the archaeological record of communities where writing on stone first appears; and anchoring the coasts, not only through an understanding of littoral shrines and ritual landscapes, but also by an analysis of religious imagery on coins, more so at the time of the introduction of new religions such as Islam in the Indian Ocean around the eighth century. This volume will be of great interest to researchers and scholars of archaeology, anthropology, museum and heritage studies, Indian Ocean studies, maritime studies, South and Southeast Asian studies, religious studies and cultural studies.

Download or read book Theory in Archaeology written by Peter J. Ucko and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-08-10 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theory in Archaeology tackles important questions about the diversity in archaeological theory and practice which face the discipline in the 1990s. What is the relationship between theory and practice? How does `World' archaeological theory differ from `European'? Can one be a good practitioner without theory? This unique book brings together contributors from many different countries and continents to provide the first truly global perspective on archaeological theory. They examine the nature of material culture studies and look at problems of ethnicity, regionalism, and nationality. They consider, too, another fundamental of archaeological inquiry: can our research be objective, or must `the past' always be a relativistic construction? Theory in Archaeology is an important book whose authors bring together very different perceptions of the past. Its wide scope and interest will attract an international readership among students and academics alike.

Download or read book Ancient Races of the Deccan written by Sasanka Sekher Sarkar and published by New Delhi : Munshiram Manoharlal. This book was released on 1972 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illustrations: 1 Map, 28 B/w Illustrations Description: Ancient Races of the Deccan is the last book from the pen of late Dr. S.S. Sarkar, who dominated the field of the study of ancient races of India for the last two decades or more. On one of his earlier books he identified the builders of the Harappa culture as Indo-Caspians. In the present volume he has marshalled strong evidence, on the basis of the examinations of the human skeletal remains from Langhnaj, Lothal, Nevasa, Chandoli, Hyderabad megaliths, Yeleswaram, Piklihal, Tekkalakota, Maski, Brahmagiri, Sanur and Adittanallur that the Dravidian-speaking people evolved from the autochthonous element of India, the Veddids or Australoids. Environmental changes and hybridization have no doubt brought complexities in them but they basically belong to Australo-Dravidian ethnic strain. It is futile, therefore, according to Dr. Sarkar, to assign the original habitat of the Dravidians outside India. Dr. Sarkar considers the skeletal remains from Lothal as a landmark in the ethnic history of India as it provides an indubitable proof of the entry of the brachycranial people into India. He has clearly shown the presence of the Australoid element in the Stone-Age Culture of Brahmagiri and also in some of the megalithic complexes, the latter yielding another racial strain, a mesocephalic people of robust constitution, belonging probably to the Scytho-Iranian stock. The book contains the original reports on the skeletal remains from Brahmagiri, Maski and Yeleswaram, besides the summary of the unpublished report of the human skeletal remains from Lothal, the most important Harappan site in Gujarat.
