Human–Environment Interactions in a Changing Alluvial Landscape in Ancient Bengal Over the Past Two Millennia
Mahasthangarh is a fortified city from ancient Bengal, founded around the 4th century BCE and thriving until the 13th–14th centuries CE It is located on the Barind terrace along the Karatoya River, which may appear modest today, but was a major river in the past. Through the first chronostratigraphic records sampled around Mahasthangarh, this paper aims to document human–environment interactions in a changing fluvial landscape linked to the mobil…
The paleoenvironment of Mahasthangarh (Bangladesh) during the Pre-Modern Period
lt;p>If the Geological Survey of Bangladesh has been very active for more than 40 years, the principal missions of the organization are linked to the management of mineral resources and other climatic problems like the rising of sea level, scarcity of drinking water, etc. There exist few research projects on the paleoenvironment connecting archaeologists and geomorphologists even if the trend is changing. For Mahasthangarh, the archaeological mis…
Grounding texts and theories of societal change
During the mid-first millennium AD, new kingdoms and states emerged across South Asia. At this time, land grants made to Hindu temples are thought to have led to wide-ranging societal transformations. To date, however, neither the land-grant charters nor the changes they are said to have driven have been studied archaeologically. Here, the authors present the results of the first archaeological investigation of the charters and their landscape co…

Accepting Variation and Embracing Uncertainty
This article presents the results of the analysis of archaeological ceramics collected during landscape surveys in the Vidarbha of Maharashtra, India; and offers the first attempt at a regional pottery typology for this area. Here, as in many other parts of South Asia, the pottery from archaeological sites have been subject to considerable scrutiny. Yet, so far approaches to their study have focussed on mainly their surface colour and feel. This …
A Typology of Practice
This article presents the results of the analysis of the pottery from the recently excavated site at Mahurjhari in central India. In doing so, it also proposes a new way of looking at archaeological ceramics in South Asia. Here, archaeological ceramics are traditionally defined on the basis of their visual appearance (their colour and texture), which results in a great deal of ambiguity, limits intra-and inter-regional comparison, and impedes a m…
