Download or read book The Archaeology of Seafaring in Ancient South Asia written by Himanshu Prabha Ray and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-08-14 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior to European expansion, communities of the Indian subcontinent had a strong maritime orientation. In this new archaeological study, Himanshu Prabha Ray explores seafaring activity, religious travel and political economy in this ancient period. By using archaeological data from the Red Sea to the Indonesian archipelago, she reveals how the early history of peninsular South Asia is interconnected with that of its Asian and Mediterranean partners in the Indian Ocean Region. The book departs from traditional studies, focusing on the communities maritime history rather than agrarian expansion and the emergence of the state. Rather than being a prime mover in social, economic and religious change, the state is viewed as just one participant in a complex interplay of social actors, including merchants, guilds, boat-builders, sailors, pilgrims, religious clergy and craft-producers. A study that will be welcomed by students of Archaeology and Ancient History, particularly those interested in South Asian Studies.

Download or read book Living Traditions written by Bridget Allchin and published by Oxbow Books Limited. This book was released on 1994-12-01 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of possibly the first symposium ever held on the ethnoarchaeology of the Subcontinent. It consists of 19 papers by distinguished archaeologists and anthropologists from Europe, Pakistan, India and the USA who have used modern local practices to shed new light on their material. Writing with a critical appreciation of the dangers of ethnoarchaeological parallels, the authors still demonstrate the immense richness of information available from countries which for social and economic reasons have always placed a premium on tradition. They stress the importance of recording more traditional practices before they disappear, not only for use as a scholarly database but also because continuing traditions are often evidence of a uniquely successful adaptation to social and environmental conditions. This is a thought-provoking introduction to a little-known but fascinating archaeological resource.
