Epilogue
This chapter is not merely a summary or recapitulation of the vast archaeological data that has been utilized to reconstruct the settlement dynamics of coastal Bengal. Rather, it raises various relevant issues that are connected with the mentioned reconstruction and, above all, discusses the unresolved questions pertaining to various aspects of coastal life including culture, religion, and the trading and maritime network. While reconstructing th…
Inscriptions and Coastal Life
This chapter explores the possibility of reconstructing the coastal life based on epigraphic sources found from the study area. Apart from the Pala and Sena inscriptions, the area under consideration yielded a significant number of epigraphic records issued by several regional lineages from the post-Gupta period onwards. The evidence found from them highlight different aspects such as coastal ecology, riverine traffic, navy, the coastal way of li…
Distribution of Sites/Settlements
The fourth chapter delineates the distribution of sites/settlements and the recorded archaeological assemblages, both excavated and explored. The sites/settlements have been traced out on the basis of the three arbitrary zones and they have been classified for each zone under excavated sites and explored sites. While discussing the individual sites the author has provided an elaborate description of the location, discoveries of antiquities throug…
The Archaeology of Coastal Bengal
Research work on coastal Bengal has mostly focused on maritime trading networks. In a clear departure from the existing scholarship, this volume questions the linearity of considering trade as the sole determinant of creation of settlement in the coastal regions. Focusing on settlement strategies, Chattopadhyay unravels how human societies, through successive generations, have adapted to the coastal environment and bio-regime. First-hand data, pr…
Preliminary Observations on the Distribution of Archaeological Sites in the South Bihar Plains
Rapport preliminaire des etudes de terrain menees dans une region comprise entre le sud du Gange et le Rajmahal de Chausa, incluant l'ensemble du district de Gaya (nord-est de l'Inde). Cette etude avait pour but d'evaluer les foyers d'habitat majeurs de la region. Un grand nombre de ces habitats offrent de riches details sculpturaux, architecturaux et iconographiques, auxquels les auteurs se referent afin d'elucider la chronologie et les caracter…
