Early cultivated plants in India and Pakistan
This chapter discusses the Indian subcontinent may be divided into three major provinces: a western or Indus province, roughly corresponding to modern West Pakistan; a southern or Peninsular province; and a north-eastern or Gangetic province. Two varieties of wheat, the club wheat and an Indian dwarf wheat are reported, as well as two varieties of barley, a small seeded six rowed variety and a sub-species. From the peninsula comes the first evide…
Early domestic animals in India and Pakistan
This chapter examines the potential interest of the subject and suggests that some of the problems which are ripe for consideration. The first problem must be to discover what animals were utilized at different periods and what was the history of each species. A second problem would seem to involve the origin of each domestic species, and whether it was introduced from outside in an already domesticated condition, or was locally domesticated from…
An Ancient Visitor Returns
L'auteur s'interesse a l'etude de deux sceaux d'argile decouverts lors de fouilles menees a Rohira, dans le district de Sangrur, au Pendjab. En effet, le premier de ces sceaux represente une personne, apparemment un archer, debout devant un arbre symbolique pendant qu'une comete traverse le ciel au-dessus de sa tete. Quant au second sceau, imparfaitement conserve, il represente egalement un personnage central, debout dans une position similaire a…

The Archaeology of Early Historic South Asia
Passage to India? Anuradhapura and the Early Use of the Brahmi Script
The island of Sri Lanka, situated off the tip of southern India, is often perceived as the recipient of material culture diffused from more northerly regions. This article counters this model by suggesting that Sri Lanka may have played a pivotal role in the development of Brahmi, South Asia's earliest readable script. Sherds inscribed with this script, recently found at Anuradhapura, with dates of the beginning of the fourth century BC, now repr…

How old is the city of Taxila
The city of Taxila, more properly Takṣaśilā, was one of the most important in ancient India. It is frequently mentioned as one of the two great cities of Gandhara (approximately the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan), along with its neighbour Puṣkalāvatī (modem Charsada north of Peshawar) some 80 miles (130 km) to the west. It was first identified in modern times by Major General Sir Alexander Cunningham in 1863, after he had visited the e…

The Reconciliation of Jñāna and Bhakti in Rāmacaritamānasa
Rāmacaritamānasa is a truly remarkable work, and the celebration of the fourth centenary of its composition calls for some recognition. Consider the artless guile of its author: at the start he protests that he is no poet, without skill in letters, lacking in all arts and sciences, lacking in all literary skills; and yet he has presented us with a creation of extraordinary skill and beauty, revealing, within the Indian context, a broad grasp of l…
Mālvan—Further Light on the Southern Extension of the Indus Civilization
In 1947 partition left India without a single site attributable to the Indus civilization. During the past two decades there has been a considerable extension of our knowledge, due mainly to the explorations and excavations of the Archaeological Survey of India. It now appears as though the Harappan culture spread into India in two principal directions: north-eastwards into the eastern Panjāb and across the Indo-Gangetic divide into the plains th…
A piece of scale armour from Shaikhān Dherī, Chārsada (shaikhān dherī studies, 1)
Among the many notable finds of the first season of the ill-starred collaboration of Cambridge and Peshawar Universities in excavations at Shaikhān Dherī, Chārsada, in the autumn of 1963, those in the house or shrine D were outstanding. Here in one of the symmetrical and well oriented insulae of the city was discovered a small building constructed of brick and diaper masonry, probably in early Kushān times, and destroyed around the time of Vāsude…
A pottery group from Ayun, Chitrāl
The pots which form the subject of this note are among the Indian collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum. They were presented to the museum in 1921 by Lt.-Col. F. C. S. Lamborne-Palmer, C.B.E., and a note in the accessions register recalls that they were discovered during the digging of the foundations of a house in the early years of the century, at Owin (Ayun) in the Chitrāl valley, now in West Pakistan. What was striking from the outset…

Ashmound Excavations at Kupgal
The development of early cultures in the Raichur District of Hyderabad
The text of the thesis is divided into two volumes. The first (Chs, I - V) contains a geographical account of the environment, a gazetteer of sites previously reported in the district and an account of such other archaeological research in peninsular India as has hearing on Raichur District. It also includes a lengthy account of my explorations in the district and of the excavations I conducted at Piklihal, near Mudgal. Finally, Ch. V is a straig…

Upon the Antiquity and Methods of Gold Mining in Ancient India
UPON THE ANTIQUITY AND METHODS OF GOLD MINING IN ANCIENT INDIA by F. R. ALLCHIN (University of Cambridge) In spite of Arrian's partial refutation, ever since Herodotus drew attention to the vast quantity of gold dust which the populous Indian province paid to Darius the Achaemenid, the world has thought of India as a source of gold 1). When modern geological survey began to make known the actual resources of the country, the comparative paucity o…

The Neolithic Stone Industry of the North Karnataka Region
Neolithic sites of the North Karnataka region produce artifacts belonging to two distinct industries.1 The first comprises mainly blade and 'geometric' tools manufactured from a series of siliceous rocks. Their manufacture entails a definite tradition of core preparation and striking of bladeflakes.2 The second industry comprises core and flake tools manufactured from a group of igneous and metamorphic rocks. Their manufacture entails different t…

The Place of Tulsī dās in North Indian Devotional Tradition
To the outside observer the history of Hindu sectarianism often appears as a disorganized tangle, lacking clarity and precision. The whole process is made if anything more complex by the ill-defined relationship of sect and non-sect. As Renou remarks: Though no statistics are available, even for the present day, we have grounds for supposing that the most active sects were themselves only isolated groups within the great body of believers. From a…

Sanskrit Eḍūka-Pāli Eluka
The word eduka first occurs in Sanskrit in the Mahābhārata. It is accepted by the Poona edition but there are several variants. The passage is of interest because of the light it throws upon the meaning: viparītaś ca loko'yam bhaviṣyaty adharottaraḥ eḍūkān pūjayiṣyanti varjayiṣyanti devatāḥ śūdrāḥ paricariṣyanti na dvijān yuga-saṃkṣaye (64) āśrameṣu maharṣīnāṃ brāhmaṇāvasaiheṣu ca deva-sthāneṣu caityeṣu nāgāndm ālayeṣu ca (65) eḍuka-cihnā pṛthivī…

Upon The Contextual Significance of Centain Groups of Ancient Indiān Signs
IT is more than 20 years since Durga Prasad published his ‘ Observations on different types of silver punch marked coins, their periods and locale ’ 1 . In this lengthy paper one section was devoted to demonstrating that certain signs can be regarded as Mauryan royal marks (pp. N 61-7). This conclusion and the many probabilities it raises have long been widely accepted in India, but in Europe acceptance has been more reserved. We are not here con…
