About this title

Synopsis:

This is a collection of papers in honour of Prof. V. N. Misra, on the occasion of his 70th birthday, and in celebration of a career in Indian archaeology spanning nearly half a century. All the papers included are based on the Ph.D. dissertations of the contributors, divided into two parts - part one covers the basics and theory of the thesis, while part two looks at changes and improvements that the author would have made if he had been carrying out the same research today. The 17 papers cover the period from the Palaeolithic to the early historic age in India, with one on the early historic period in Bangladesh (Rahman). They cover a range of regions, cultural periods and disciplines; including prehistory, protohistory, and early historic, with one paper on archaeozoology and one on ethnoarchaeology (Thomas and Ansari).
