Visitors to the Red Fort in Agra and students and scholars of history are being made to believe and propagate that the Red Fort in Agra was built by the 16th century Mogul ruler Akbar. This is a falsehood. The Red Fort in Agra which the 20th century visitor sees was built in the pre-Christian era by the then Hindu rulers. Alien Muslim invaders only conquered and occupied it. Ancient Hindu rulers like Ashok and Kanishka held court in the so-called Diwan-i-Aam of the fort and held counsel with their advisers in the so-called Diwan-i-Khas. Those are ancient Hindu royal apartments late appropriated by Muslim conquerors.

This region was under the threat of submergence by the Srisailam Hydro-Electric Dam project; hence as a part of salvage archeology this task was taken up. The study was done on the new discoveries and also using earlier finds so as to glen the complete picture of the cultural development. There are evidences from Lower Palaeolithic to Megalithic with continuation into early historical sites in the valley occupying along the banks of the rivers. The sites are found in primary and stratified contexts, which enable to understand the development of civilization. It is a micro regional study where more emphasis was given on the prehistoric culture besides dealing the outlines of the Neolithic and Megalithic cultures. The distribution of sites was done in relation to their topographical settings against the background of their ecology, raw materials, water source and Quaternary deposites and established the man-land relationship within the chronological frame work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Quaternary deposits were found in the form of High Level Gravels and Older alluvium, some how or other which are related to the sites that help to draw the climatic conditions and atleast there were two cycles of wet and dry climatic phases during Stone Age times. The ethnographic analogy was taken from the local tribe Chenchus who are living contiguous to the Prehistoric sites gave insights as regards the seasonal migrations, types of temporary dwellings, their hunting practices and food economy. Their tools kit is also very significant to have parallels with the Stone Age tools kit. Thus the author had utilized all possible traits in reconstructing the settlement system of the Prehistoric people in the Krishna-Tungabhadra

Subbarao as the head of the Department of Archaeology and Ancient History of the M S University of Baroda. At that time, the Department he inherited was in the formative stage. The responsibility of giving the leadership in development of the infant Department fell on his shoulders, and as the Head of the Department he ably demonstrated his leadership and established the Department at the National and International levels. He was, indeed, a beacon of light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe had rendered unique service towers education and research in Archaeology, history and culture by undertaking extensive field work, explorations, excavations and exhibitions of material culture. His epoch making discoveries in the field of Archaeology and ancient history had made him nationally and internationally well known. He was not only an eminent academician; he was also a sagacious administrator. He earned word wide recognition for his meritorious services and creditable work. In view of these facts, his admirers, students and his distinguished colleagues had decided to bring out a felicitation volume in honour of Prof. R N Mehta. But the task was not simple. When research papers were invited for the volume from scholars, the response was overwhelming. The works like collecting articles, their checking and editing etc. took considerable time longer than the expectation of the editors. By that time, to the surprise of all, Prof Mehta passed away following a short illness leaving us in a state of shock. It was thereafter decided to convert the volume into the commemoration volume in honour of Prof. Mehta and in his loving memory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe volume is in two parts comprising of eighty nine contributions on different subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Contributors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Plates\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEditors Note\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCurriculum Vitae\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSnehargha-S G Kantawala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProf. R N Mehta- a leader in the Academic Field- S K Bhowmik\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eARCHAEOLOGY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecently discovered Ostrich Eggshell from Nagwada, Gujarat.\u003cbr\u003e-V H Sonawane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Prehistoric Remains in the Northern Part of Bhavanagar District.\u003cbr\u003e-V K Jairath\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStone Age man in Rajasthan.\u003cbr\u003e-Vijai Kuamr , HC Misra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRock paintings in Bhopal.\u003cbr\u003e-V S Wakankar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRock-engravings at Tabo.\u003cbr\u003e-A K Sinha\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Origin and purpose of Megalithic Port-hole.\u003cbr\u003e-K P Rao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnvironmental background for the beginning of Agriculture in Maharashtra.\u003cbr\u003e-S A Sali\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStudy of settlements and population in the Harappan Context of India.\u003cbr\u003e-T N Roy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnpublished Copper Hoard in some Private Collection of India.\u003cbr\u003e-Madhuri Sharma\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Indian Protohistoric Copper Rings: Some socio-economic considerations.\u003cbr\u003e-Krishna Kumar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the Origin of Northern Black Polished ware in India.\u003cbr\u003e-Ashoka K Mishra, Pushpa Lata Singh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuddhist remains near Thanesar.\u003cbr\u003e-Manmohan Kumar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArchaeology of Vidisha District.

These scholars have contributed valuable articles in appreciation of her careful and learned contributions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr Debala Mitra was both a serious academician and an indefatigable worker as an archaeologist. As a Buddhist scholar she is renowned for her voluminous works and as a field worker she is credited with several important excavations. But what makes her so loving and admirable to the scholarly world is her humbleness. And in that respect she represents undoubtedly the traditional Indian concept of a scholarly personality, viz. bhavanti namras taravah phalagame, the trees bow down (only) due to the weight of fruits. Dr Mitra has retired from her official career but not from her educational pursuits. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume contains writings on various topics of Indian archaeology starting from the pre-historic Mohen-Jo-Daro upto the late medieval period. As Mitra herself is a scholar embracing a wide field of Indology so a host of scholars have contributed to various topics on Indian art and archaeology belonging to a long period and wide area. As she was also engaged in the field work of excavation and in the study of art in Nepal, this volume contains three articles on the art and architecture of Nepal. We thank all our friends and scholars who share our feelings in congratulating Dr Debala Mitra on her sixty-fifth birthday.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.

In this book, the author has examined the material remains of a given area i.e. of Bhubaneswar tracing the origin, development and decay of various settlements in that area in a wider time span. However, the study is not confined to only settlement remains, but the documentary evidences provided by the epigraphic and literary sources have also been taken into consideration to chain the missing links and suitable corroborations have been rendered. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eResultantaly new interpretations have been obtained, the more interesting are the identifications offered to the largely debated nagara and khibira of the Hathigumpha inscription and Tosali of Asokan rock edict and Gandhasindhu of the Ganga inscriptions the logical outcome of the inscriptions the logical outcome of the field survey and analytical studies thereof. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe rich source material has also provided the substantial basis for reconstructing a vivid picture of the social set-up pertaining to various settlements and thus the study ultimately projected the Man the master of those settlements.

It has two components of context: the first one is the context of the past and the second one is the context of the present which is based on ethnic society which must be pre-literate, non-urbanised and pre-industrial. Considering the golorious past of rich material culture of India, it has to be admitted that very little work has been done to unfold the mysteries of complicated ancient iron technology through archaeometallurgical study which is rapidly growing discipline world wide. In this work an endeavour has been made to understand the iron metallurgy of the yore in India with the help of ethnographical study of the tribes of Chhotanagpur (Jharkhand) and Bastar (Chhattisgarh). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe region of Bastar unlike Chhotanagpur could not be served and included in the Agaria (the tribal demon who was born in flame) belt of autique iron smelters, but by field work it has been searched by the author that many tribes of Bastar were well versed with iron making technology for their rituals. How this technique was evolved in this region? Was it due to migration of some specific tribes other than Agaria or by the diffusion of technique only by contact and not by any real migration or it was spontaneously developed from its local resources on the principle of trial and error method. All possibilities are practically testifies in this work. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis research also underlies the fact that does the change in the nature of one effect the change in technology? or in the event of no change in the nature of one, does the change of tribes make a change in technology? In this work the principle and technique of optical spectrometer, electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, chemical analysis and differential thermal analysis have been made by the author in solving the analytical problems of the development of primitive iron technology. The matalographic study of the internal metallic structure of the solid formed in their compound during solidification and subsequent its mechanical and thermal treatment effect is also discussed with special reference of iron. Before this work, there no attempt has yet been made by Indian scholars so far.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePREFACE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER I\u003cbr\u003eEthnoarchaeology\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER II\u003cbr\u003eRetrospect of Ethno Iron Metallurgy in India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER III\u003cbr\u003eChhotanagpur\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER IV\u003cbr\u003eBastar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER V\u003cbr\u003eEthnic-Smelting of Iron in Chhotanagpur and Bastar Regions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER VI\u003cbr\u003eIron-Ore and Pre-Industrial Iron Smelting Tradition in Chotanagpur and Bastar Regions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER VII\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBIBLIOGRAPHY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLIST OF ILLUSTRATION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePLATES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMAPS\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Ashok K Mishra \/ Agam Kala Prakashan \/ Hardcover","offer_id":40789219344553,"sku":"17670","price":96.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/17670.jpg?v=1625569550"},{"product_id":"18392-marine-archaeology-in-india","title":"Marine Archaeology in India","description":"\u003cb\u003e Shipping Note: This item usually arrives at your doorstep in 10-15 days\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: S R Rao\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Publications Division\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2001\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 255\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 812300785X\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Indian subcontinent with its 6500 km long coastline, 200 ports and a rich hinterland connected by major rivers has played a vital role in the Indian Ocean trade by connecting the East and the West throughout its 5000 year long history of shipping and maritime trade. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was a pioneer in ship and dockyard building even during the days of the Indus Valley (Harappa) civilization is proved by the discovery of a massive brick-build tidal dock with a warehouse at the Harappan port of Lothal in the Gulf of Cambay in 2300 BC. By 1600 B C it could provide docking facilities in the seaport of Dwarka by modifying a ride suitably to anchor large ships in the harbour.
