LAL Director General Archaeological Survey of India ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA GOVERNMENT OF INDIA NEW DELHI 1973 Cover: The Archaeological Survey. Of India, in collaboration with the Royal Afghan Government, has undertaken a programme of conservation and preservation of the famous rock-cut Buddhist shrines (third-sixth centuries A.D.) containing images of the Small and the Big Buddha and the mural paintings.

PREFACE The Review for 1968-69, which was press-ready in August 1969, could see the light of the day only towards the end of 1971. This has been due to many reasons which I need not go into here. But I would certainly like to apologize to the readers for this inordinate dealy. For the same reasons, the subsequent numbers have also been delayed. The present number is now likely to be out by the end of this year, while that for 1970-71 about the beginning of the next. Very soon I would be relinquishing the charge of my office and hope that my suc- cessor will have a better luck with the publication schemes which have got stuck up for inordinately long periods. I would like to express my gratitude 10 all those who have supplied the data for inclusion in the present number. I would also like to thank Dr. G. S. Gai and Sarvashri B. K. Thapar, Krishna Deva, R. Sen Gupta, M. C. Joshi, K. S. Ramachandran, N. C. Ghosh, B. M. Pande, W. H. Siddiqi and S. R. Varma for the help they have so kindly given me in the publication of this issue. B. B.

EXCAVATION AT BHATTIPROLU, DISTRICT GUNTUR.—With a view to ascertaining the structural features of the Buddhist stupa at the site, a small-scale excavation was conducted by Dr. R. Subrahmanyam of the South-eastern Circle of the Archaeological 1 Survey of India. The excavation revealed that the stupa was built of bricks (size: 45 X 30 X 8 cm.), the dome masonry being in receding concentric circles. It had ayaka-platforms surmounted by pillars at the four cardinal points. Resting over the drum of" the stupa, around the rise of the dome was a 1.3-m. wide pathway. Remains of a railing were noticed around the stupa. The upper five metres or so of the original dome have disappeared. According to Alexander Rea, who had conducted excavation at the site as early as 1892, the stupa was star-shaped on plan with a hollow in the centre and with a recorded diameter of approximately 44 m. During the present excavation, however, the diameter was actually found to be 47 m. The excavation also laid bare two wings of the vihara attached to the stupa. Each wing consists of a set of four rooms, measuring 2.75 x 1.8 m., with a common front verandah and an entrance on the east. Besides, a square cell with semi-circular walls on the three sides, representing possibly the earliest form of the chaitya-griha in Andhra Pradesh, was also found. A stucco head of the Buddha (pl. IA) and a stone sculpture of a seated nagaraja (pl. IB) were obtained from this area. Besides, sherds of the Black-and-red and Red Polished Wares were also recovered. 2. EXPLORATION IN DISTRICT KRISHNA.—During the course of his exploration around Akiripalli in Taluk Nuzvid, Shri T.V.G. Sastri of the South-eastern Circle of the Survey found a neolithic celt from a field to the north-west of the village. He also noticed megalithic burials in the mountain-slopes to the north of the village. ASSAM 3. EXPLORATION IN DISTRICT GARO HILLS.—Under the auspices of the Department of Anthropology, University of Gauhati, Prof. M. C. Goswami and Dr. T. C. Sharma, assisted by Sarvashri Harish Chandra Sharma and Sankar Kumar Roy explored areas 1 The Archaeological Survey of India is referred to in the following pages as the ‘Survey’. 1 INDIAN ARCHAEOLOGY 1969-70—A REVIEW of the Arbella range and located three Stone Age sites at fl) Selbalgiri, Locality 3 (Mokbol-Chiring), (ii) Michimagiri, and (iii) Michimagiri, Locality 1. Selbalgiri, Locality 3 (Mokbol-Chiring) lies about 3 km. from the village of Selbalgiri, on way to Michimagiri. The site was covered by dense vegetation, forbidding a thorough investigation of the area. However, a good collection of artefacts was made, which included implements of the Early and Late Stone Ages. The tools were less rolled as compared to those from other sites in the Garo Hills. Michimagiri is situated on the slope of a hillock, about 4 km. from Selbalgiri. On the northern slope of this hillock, which shows an eroded surface, a large number (over six hundred) of heavily weathered and rolled stone tools were found. These belonged variously to the Early, Middle and Late Stone Ages as also to the Neolithic assemblage. Michimagiri Locality 1 lies on a hillock, locally known as Watri Abri, at a distance of about 1 km. from the village. Over one hundred tools, variously belonging to the Early, Middle and Late Stone Ages, and to the Neolithic Age were collected from the site. Typologically, the collection from the above-mentioned sites comprised the following groups: -(i) large, roughly-flaked heavy tools such as choppers, handaxes, discs and picks; (ii) small tools, mainly on flakes detached from large prepared cores of doleritic basalt, such as scrapers, points, borers, etc.; (iii) microliths, made on thin flakes, comprising parallel-sided blades, small scrapers, points, arrow-heads (?), etc.; and (iv) chipped and ground celts and flakes, blades and arrow-heads, in association with a crude, hand-made pottery. BIHAR 4. EXCAVATION AT CHAMPA, DISTRICT BHAGALPUR.—The Department of Ancient Indian History and Archaeology, University of Patna, under Professor B. P. Sinha, undertook excavation at Champa, situated about 5 km. west of Bhagalpur. Besides the impartation of training in field-archaeology to the post-graduate students, the principal objective of the excavation was to determine the location of the ancient city of Champa, mentioned in early Taina literature as one of the six important cities of the time of Maha-vira and Buddha. The eastern portion of the mound, which was somewhat less disturbed than the other three, was selected for the operations. With a view to determining the nature of the defences, a trench, measuring 36 X 4 m., was laid out. The excavation revealed a mud rampart, divisible into two phases. In the earlier phase, it was of blackish soil capped by a rubble spread. A large number of terracotta sling-balls, charcoal pieces, showing fibres of burnt bamboos, and ash were noticed in the deposit. Other associated finds included a few copper cast coins, black-slipped and grey wares and a few sherds of the Northern Black Polished Ware (abbreviated in the following pages as N. B. P. Ware). In the later phase, the defences were built of yellow and red soils, with an embankment of brick debris, possibly to prevent scouring by water.

    English Practice Papers for LIC Assistant Prelims 2019 Directions (1-5): Rearrange the following seven sentences (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F) and (G) in the proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph and then answer the questions given below. (A) To put it in perspective, there have been 38 attempts so far by other countries to land a rover on the moon and have succeeded only a little more than half the time. (B) The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) came tantalizingly close to creating history in the early hours of September 7. (C) While it is unfortunate that the lander failed to safely touchdown, it is apt to remember that ISRO was attempting powered landing for the first time. (D) The robotic lander Vikram followed the predetermined descent trajectory and came just within 2 km of the lunar surface before contact was lost. (E) This April, Israel’s Beresheet lunar lander crashed to the lunar surface. (F) But early January this year, China’s Chang’e-4 touched down on the lunar far side and deployed the Yutu-2 rover to explore the South Pole-Aitken Basin. (G) In Vikram, the velocity was successfully reduced from about 6,000 km per hour at the start of the descent at 35 km altitude to a few meters per second before communication snapped. Q1. Which of the following should be the first sentence after rearrangement? (a) B (b) D (c) A (d) F (e) C Q2. Which of the following should be the third sentence after rearrangement?

KOHL! 019eas Invasive Alien Plants An Ecological Appraisal for the Indian Subcontinent FSC ...wesc.org MIX Paper from responsible sources `FSC C013604 CABI INVASIVE SPECIES SERIES Invasive species are plants, animals or microorganisms not native to an ecosystem, whose introduction has threatened biodiversity, food security, health or economic development. Many ecosystems are affected by invasive species and they pose one of the biggest threats to biodiversity worldwide. Globalization through increased trade, transport, travel and tour- ism will inevitably increase the intentional or accidental introduction of organisms to new environments, and it is widely predicted that climate change will further increase the threat posed by invasive species. To help control and mitigate the effects of invasive species, scien- tists need access to information that not only provides an overview of and background to the field, but also keeps them up to date with the latest research findings. This series addresses all topics relating to invasive species, including biosecurity surveil- lance, mapping and modelling, economics of invasive species and species interactions in plant invasions. Aimed at researchers, upper-level students and policy makers, titles in the series provide international coverage of topics related to invasive species, including both a synthesis of facts and discussions of future research perspectives and possible solutions.
