Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the modern nation state of Bangladesh has long been known to possess rich archaeological sources--especially of the historical periods--there is a dearth of publications analyzing their scope and detailed pattern. The present volume, based on the researches of Bangladeshi and other scholars, as well as on the author's own fieldwork and a first-hand study of the material, offers a coherent and connected account of the available archaeological knowledge of that country. This book contains, among other things, a detailed aboriginal study of the prehistoric and early historic situation in Bangladesh, and points out the wealth and diversity of explored and excavated sites of the later periods.
