Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, India, 1979. "8vo hardback. Original pink cloth, gilt. First Edition. 16.5 Cms x 25 Cms. * the first of a projected three volumes. It has been compiled with two aims: (1) to indicate the development of archaeological research in India and the emergence of a specifically ""Indian"" approach to archaeology and prehistory; (2) and to provide a source-book for students both in India and outside, which will give a selection and excerpts from the significant writings on Indian archaeology to date. As many of the articles are from widely scattered sources and consequently difficult to obtain, it is hoped that students will find the selection useful. The basic themes of this volume are: the background to Indian archaeology, including some of the earliest and most important writings, some examples of the early methods employed; and sections on the relevance of geography and climate for early man, and the cultures of early man himself; finally there is a section on the domestication of plants and animals. The selection is based on careful research and planning and without doubt this is the first work of its kind in Indian archaeology. Printed Pages: 364 with over 100 illustrations. Library cancel else fine."

The Antiquities of Kangra

Munshiram Manoharlal,New Delhi 1984. First edition. With 13 figs, and 26 b&w plates, 1 map. HC cloth, DJ - in perfect clean condition, vg/vg. - x, 96 S. (pages). ISBN 8121501121 - The antiquities of Kangra were first noticed in the 1840s and in the last quarter of that century their basic details were laid down by Alexander Cunningham and George Buhler. Soon afterwards these details were put on a more secure footing by J.Ph. Vogel, H.L. Shuttleworth, H. Hargreaves and Hirananda Shastri. In recent years Kangra has been put on the prehistoric map of India by B.B. Lal, G.C. Mohapatra and R.V. Joshi. The Delhi University exploration in Kangra in March 1980 was intended to follow up the earlier prehistoric discoveries, to try to locate a neolithic settlement and to find out if the Harappans spread into this attractive valley from the side of Jammu. The result has been negative in both cases but early historic pottery could be located, for the first time in this region, and a systematic assessment of all types of historical antiquities were possible. The present volume is a field-report based on this assessment. This is accompanied by a comprehensive survey of the archaeological literature on the western Himalayas and a metallographic analysis of an iron knife (dated c.200 B.C.) which has shown evidence of quenching.
