Lower Palaeolithic (Acheulean) adaptations in the central Narmada Valley
Central India represents one of the plenteous Acheulean records in the Indian Subcontinent, with over 300 occurrences of various types reported thus far. According to available chronological data, this region's antiquity of Palaeolithic occupation is tentatively dated beyond 800 ka. The central Narmada Valley, in particular, is vital as it has yielded the only known archaic hominin fossils in the entire Subcontinent and probably acted as a bio-cu…
Low-Density Urbanism in Medieval Sri Lanka
A hinterland survey at Polonnaruva has revealed that a planned pluralistic landscape \ndeveloped during the latter part of the Early Medieval period (A.D. 600-1200). This \nrepresents a significant shift in settlement pattern from the organically derived model of \nBuddhist Temporalities found at the antecedent capital, Anuradhapura. In comparison, \nsettlements around Polonnaruva were larger, longer-lived and evenly distributed. This \ncoincided…
Indus Ceramic Industries
The study of ceramic industries of the Indus Valley Period has largely been descriptive, involving their use as a chronological marker and a determining tool to understand the extent of cultural boundaries. However, with the introduction of new methodologies and analytical techniques, primarily borrowed from material sciences, an increased emphasis has been placed to assess the quality of ceramics and its links to various processes involved in th…

The state of theocracy
The ancient Sri Lankan city of Anuradhapura is currently the subject of one of the world's largest and most intensive archaeological research projects. Having traced its growth from an Iron Age village to a medieval city, the research team now moves to the task of modelling the surrounding landscape. Three seasons of fieldwork have located numerous sites of which the most prominent in the urban period are monasteries. Here is a clue about how the…
The Technology of ‘Glazed’ Reserved Slip Ware—a Fine Ceramic of the Harappan Period
‘Glazed’ Reserved Slip Ware (RSW) is a high‐quality glossy bichrome pottery of the Indus Valley civilization, and dates to the mature Harappan period ( c. 2600–1900 bc ). Scanning electron microscopy with energy‐dispersive X‐ray analysis indicates that the surface coat on RSW is composed of a pale grey vitrified clay slip, which overlies a black slip with significantly higher iron oxide. Hence the term ‘sintered’ Reserved Slip Ware is to be prefe…
A Study of Clay Paste Preparation by Potters Through Grain Size Analysis
Une breve prospection ethnographique a d'abord ete menee dans les ateliers de deux potiers indiens traditionnels. Les auteurs ont ensuite tente de produire des ceramiques du meme type en travaillant la matiere premiere par elutriation. La microstructure des produits et la matiere premiere ont ete decoupees en lames minces et observees au microscope. Cette etude revele que les differents processus adoptes pour la preparation de la matiere premiere…
