VII. RESEARCH PREHISTORY AND PALAEOENVIRONMENT

S. Mishra Exploration and Excavation 1. Exploration in Narmada Valley around Narsingpur, District Narsingpur, Madhya Pradesh A visit was made to Narsingpur to visit the sites to in relation to the ongoing PhD research of Burhan Ahmed, Non Biface industries of the Narmada Valley. One of the most interesting and best studied sites is Samnapur which was excavated by Deccan College under Dr. V.N. Misra earlier. We re-visited the site and also other locatities around Narsinghpur such as Mahdeo Piparia, Barman Ghat and Bhedaghat. 2. Participation in Excavation at Tikoda, District Raisen, Madhya Pradesh, During the participation in the Tikoda excavation an attempt was made to locate the horizon of the microliths which are occurring on the eroded gully surface in locality 4. The micolith horizon was established to be grayish clay which overlies the bright yellow Acheulian horizon and underlies the colluvial sand wash accumulating presently. Dating of this horizon will be very interesting as the microblade assemblage appears quite archaic.

S.G. Deo 1. Excavation at Tikoda, District Raisen, Madhya Pradesh (in collaboration with Shri S.B. Ota, Regional Director, Central Zone, Archaeological Survey of India, Bhopal) Since the area of investigation is confined to the reserve forest of Tikoda village, it forms a single geographic unit. Within this unit we noticed that there are number scatters with differential occurrence in density of Acheulian artefacts. Therefore, various distinct concentrations of lithic scatter within the area are designated as 'locality'. So far eight localities have been located in the area confined to southern slope and 'V' shaped valley of Tikoda hill. These localities have been named as TKD-I to TKD-VIII. 42 Annual Report 2012-13

Fig. 1: Location Map of Localities Vill Tikoda

This year we carried out excavations at following localities at Tikoda: Locality TKD -II: Continued further excavation at this locality in 5 × 5m trench. The trench was dug up to the bedrock in 2×5 m area. We systematically collected exposed artefacts from digging. Further soil samples were collected for textural as well chemical analysis and for dating purpose. Locality TKD -IV: A huge yellowish sedimentary deposit comprised of sand and silt size is observed at the foot of the Narwar hill in the 'V' shaped valley. This deposit is more than 10 m thick. There are two huge such deposits which are in the form of island and presented cut by the seasonal low order stream that originate in the Narwar hills. The top surface is almost flat with thin deposit of ferricrete gravel and Acheulian artefacts Fig. 2 : Continuation of TKD II Trench are associated with it. A small scale 2012-13 (5×5 m) Annual Report 2012-13 43 excavation at the top has yielded number of artefacts sealed under thin yellow sediment. At this locality this year a step trench was dug through the 10 m thick deposit. This has shown that there are two levels of Acheulian occupation - one is on the top surface and the other is at xx m from top almost on the bedrock sandstone. These two artefact levels are separated by about 7 m thick deposit completely devoid of any artefacts. Locality TKD -VII: At this locality large number of artefacts is exposed on the surface due to recent erosion of the covering sediments. This locality is also in dark yellow sediment. Here a 3 x 3 m trench was dug into 5.5 m thick deposit. This trench also yielded artefacts at a particular level associated with ferrugenised gravel deposit. Small size artefacts/debitage made on chalcedony and chert is observed at this locality. Locality Pilidhani: This locality is situated away from the 'V' shaped valley toward south east. This locality is in bedrock with thick dark brown clay deposit. Number of artefacts are strewn on the surface of this clay. At Pilidhani locality sediment is dark yellow sandy-silt with hard calcrete-like nodules spread on the surface. There are many artefacts on surface exposed by erosion of this yellow sediment. This year we systematically collected surface artefacts by laying a grid of 10 × 10 m grid and documented details of each artefact such as orientation, inclination, latitude and longitude, context of the artefacts, length, breadth and thickness of the artefacts. Besides systematic collection of artefacts we dug three trial trenches to understand the geomorphic context of Acheulian artefacts. All the artefacts are made on quartzite. The locality is in bedrock basalt. Artefacts are associated with ferruginsied gravel. This locality is situated on nala originating in the Narwar hill draining through the Vindhyan sandstone and basalt. Detailed geomorphic observations around this locality were carried out to understand the formation processes.

P.D. Sable 1. Exploration in Middle Reaches Bhima River Basin: Environmental archaeological studies of important those archaeological sites which are present on the bank of Bhima river Middle reach of Bhima basin work is a part of ICSSR Major Research Project. The surface and subsurface exploration of Bhima river basin in middle reaches was carried. The study area falls between Latitude 17° 15' N to 18° 45' N and Longitude 74° 25' E to 76° 00'E, on the toposheet map of Survey of India (Scale 1:250,000). It covers the parts of Solapur, Ahmednagar, Beed and Osmanabad districts of Maharashtra. The river flows through the highly draught prone area, therefore, it is seasonal. To study the drainage, landforms, topography, habitat, vegetation and 44 Annual Report 2012-13 accessibility of the study area by using Survey of India (SOI) topographic maps of 1: 50,000 scale and quarter inch map of 1:4 miles scale. As a part of UGC, New Delhi, major research project, I have carried out a detailed environmental archaeological (Geoarchaeological) investigation in middle reaches of Bhima river. The main aim of the investigation is to explore and study the effect of Ancient flood on archaeological monuments in this area. The present study area cover southern part of Pune, and major part of Solapur from Maharashtra. For the sake of study the middle reaches of Bhima basin is divided into micro segment viz (i) Ujani Dam Back water area (ii) middle-upper reaches (iii) middle - middle reaches (iv)middle house reaches. In each micro segment a details exploration carried out and no. of archaeological monument such as temples, forts, house and habitation site find out. Since the area under study was quite vast and unexplored, therefore a detailed Geoarchaeological exploration has been carried out to reconstruct the paleoenvironmental conditions, geomorphology, geology and the landscape of the Sina river basin. During the exploration no. of temples which are buried under the thick pile of river flash deposit were encountered.

B.C. Deotare Explorations in southern part of Purna basin especially in the Mun and the Katepurna sub-basin in Vidarbha Last several years Deotare is working in Purna valley of Tapi basin with a view to reconstruct the environment during early Historic period in this area. In this connection northern and southern part of the Purna basin was extensively explored with a view to understand considerably the status of early Historic culture in the region. It was initiated basically in Akola and Buldana districts and discovered number of medieval and Early Historic sites in this region. While exploring the area it is very promptly noted that almost every village is having ancient remains in one way or other in the form of pottery, some ancient objects, traces of ancient temple, Garhi with ancient pottery pieces, coins, figurine etc. The report on the excavation of Early Historic Bhon is ready for publication and another site of Kholapur which is from the same region of the Purna, is in progress and very soon it will be published. Both these sites are very well studied by the Deccan College team considering their importance and specific function, they are major urban centers located on the ancient highway known as Dakshinapath. Because of their unique location, these sites were engaged in trade in all directions by exporting meticulously crafted terracotta objects, carnelian beads, shell objects etc. There may be many more such sites in the region which are on way of destruction or waiting for proper attention by the archaeologists. During these years it is felt that systematic survey of all the villages is necessary to avoid further destruction and needed proper documentation and finally all these material remains should be available for study to the interested scholars. So that ancient history will have authenticated additional data for the reconstruction of true Annual Report 2012-13 47 picture of our ancestor's lifestyle, society they lived, trading contact, community and their regional relationship. The urbanization during early Historic period in the Purna basin has been very well established now and need to be correlate with neighboring areas so as to have appropriate impact on the regional basis. This is the future course of action in this direction by employing multidisciplinary approach to the topic in question.

R.K. Mohanty Brief Report on Archaeological Activities at Talapada, Odisha 2013 Prof. R.K.Mohanty, Prof.Monica L.Smith and Prof. P.P. Joglekar Introduction Talapada is an archaeological site of the Early Historic period located 42 kilometers south of the Odisha state capital Bhubaneswar and 20 kilometers south-southeast of the district headquarter of Khurda. The site measures 25 hectares in size, surrounded by a square rampart measuring up to three meters in height. There were four gateways located in the center of each side. The site was first discovered in 2011 in conjunction with an exploration of the nearby settlement of GolbaiSasan carried out by Deccan College, under the direction of Prof. R. K. Mohanty. It was excavated by Profs. R. K. Mohanty and P. P. Joglekar in collaboration with Monica. L. Smith of the UCLA,USA. The team was assisted by research scholars and students from Deccan College, UtkalUniversity, Bhubaneswar, , Cuttack, and Visva- Bharati University, Santiniketan. The teamespecially supervised consisted of Dr. TilokThakuria of the NEHU, Ms. Sikhasree Ray, Ms. ArunimaPati, Mr. N. Nihildas of Deccan College and research scholars of the UCLA. Fieldwork consisted of excavations and geophysical survey carried out at Talapada from January 4, 2013 to February 8, 2013.

Excavations The geophysical survey was carried out through magnetic gradiometry utilizing a Geoscan Research FM-256 Fluxgate Gradiometer. Excavations were undertaken in four localities to evaluate the presence of architecture, to establish the chronology and cultural life at the site (Fig.1). Operation 1, 2, 3 gave a large amount of cultural remains especially pottery, animal bone and a few objects of daily use. However, the excavations at operation 4, located in the central northeastern interior area of the rampart and consisting of trenches measuring a total of 8 ×12 meters to a maximum depth of 2.58 meters below modern ground surface where natural soil was reached (Fig. 2). It revealed the presence of architecture 48 Annual Report 2012-13

Fig. 1 :Exploration and Excavation at Fig. 2 : Structural Remains and Talapada Stratigraphy

Fig.3 : Structural Remains at Talapada Fig. 4 : Structural Remains at Talapada consisting of large laterite blocks laid upright on their thin edges (Fig. 3) as well as a distinct construction of bricks and rectilinear laterite blocks topped with a laterite ring (Fig. 4).It was too shallow to have served as a well. The construction of this structure within the housing complex might have served a different purpose. The potteries from the upper portion of the excavations were of the Early Historic period but were very worn- out and abraded, suggesting redeposit or moved out from neighbouring areas. The lower portion of the excavation revealed pottery corresponding to the lower strata of Sisupalgarh, such as knobbed ware and highly-burnished pottery with graffiti marks. Annual Report 2012-13 49

Artifacts and Antiquities The majority artifact type at Talapada consisted of ceramics. Talapada has the same range of antiquities as seen at the contemporaneous Early Historic site of Sisupalgarh, including terracotta ear- spools, beads, pendants and scrubbers. The occurrence and quantity of these items are significantly less as was found at Sisupalgarh. Daily-use goods in Operation 2 included one broken gray sandstone pestle measuring 8.9×6.2×6 Fig.5 : Cultural material from Talapada cm and two steatite bowl fragments (one each from Operation 2 and Operation 4). Two square lead objects, probably coins, were found from Operation 4 but they were very deteriorated and unreadable. Artifacts distinct to Talapada include one ear-spool in lead recovered in Operation 4. Conclusions The occupational sequence at Talapada is identical to that of Sisupalgarh and presents the same chronology of ceramics that includes high-fired, burnished wares such as knobbed wares at the lower occupation sequence, followed by oxidized (red) low-fired and unburnished wares in the upper occupation sequence. However, the architectural components at Talapada appear to be relatively modest. Some areas had both architecture and ceramics (such as Operation 4) while other areas had ceramics but no architecture (Operations 1, 2 and 3). Even in Operation 4, however, architecture was not consistently evident in each of the occupational phases as the fill in this area consisted of a large quantity of re-deposited and much worn-out ceramic material. The presence of many identical factors at both Sisupalgarh and Talapada (such as the outline of the ramparts, the pottery and other artifact types, and structural configurations such as laterite stone rings) strongly suggests the existence of some formal relationship between the two sites that is worthy of further investigation.

Brief report on the investigations at Banga-Harirajpur for the season 2012-13 Banga-Harirajpur, is a Neolithic-Chalcolithic site located in the Puri district of Odisha. It is adjacent to the villages of the same name. The mound is locally known as BantalMundia. The site is located in rich alluvium zone and is very close to the right bank of the river Daya. It was first located by Dr. Anaam Behera of the Dept. of A.I.H.C. and Archaeology, Utkal University and Dr. Abhijit Dandekar of Deccan College 50 Annual Report 2012-13

during year 2012. The site was subsequently excavated in this year's field season under the Direction of Prof. K.K. Basa of the Dept. of Anthropology, Utkal University, Prof. R.K. Mohanty of Deccan College under the sponsorship of the Centre for Heritage Studies, Bhubaneshwar. The excavation was assisted by Mr. Shantanu A. Vaidya of the Fig. 1 : The mound at the site of Deccan College and Dr. Daitari Harirajpur-Banga Sahoo of the Utkal University. The site is an imposing mound of about 7m in height and covers an area of around 16 acres. The site is disturbed at some places due to agriculture activity and soil quarrying. During this season five trenches were laid on the south-western slope of the mound. The excavation was planned in step trench technique. The steps were named A, A1, B, B1, C, C1, D, D1, E, and E1. Out of these A, B, C, D, E were 2 m × 2m, whereas the trenches A1, B1, C1, D1, and E1 were 2 m × 3 m. The excavation was confined to all step trenches except C1. The excavation revealed all along the floor levels of the Neolithic-Chalcolithic period. The trenches A-A1, B-B1, C-C1, D-D1 and E-E1 were combined. The excavation in D-D1 revealed that it was a dump of the later period. This dump might have occurred due to the flow over the slope of the mound. The floors of the period were made of the laterite gravel (murrum) and over it was laid a thick layer of rammed silt-soil mixed with fine sand. This was the smeared and smoothened probably with cowdung for making living floors. The structures, as can be envisaged from partial exposure of some structures, were circular in nature. In trench A-A1 a part of a floor was found exposed in the limited area which was semi-circular in shape. The habitation layers surrounding the structures were loose and filled with white ashy material and had a huge concentration of pottery and animal bones. The successive floors exposed in these trenches were 13 Fig. 2 : Human Burial from in number. In the trench E-E1 was encountered a trench E Annual Report 2012-13 51 human burial below a living floor level. It was found at a depth of 595cm from the highest point of the mound in the southern side where the trenches were laid out. The pit line of the burial however could not be traced in the limited area of the excavation. The human burial was extended and in supine position (Fig. 2). The feet of the burial were chopped off which reminds of the similar custom in the Deccan Chalcolithic. One pot was placed on the chest of the skeleton. The pot was handmade and ill-baked. Very close to the burial was kept an urn with its mouth covered with a lid. The urn contained the burial of a child. The human skeleton had a copper bi-cone bead around its neck. Apart from these there were no other burial goods offered. The finding of the skeleton stopped the excavation in the trench E-E1 up to the natural soil. Hence the trench C was taken up to the natural soil. The natural soil was yellow-reddish sand. Here the total deposit was 685cm. At the level corresponding to the skeleton was found a dark, black, ashy patch in the trench C which was also seen in trench E just above the skeleton.

Fig. 3 : Ceramics from Harirajpur-Banga The ceramics found during the excavation were cord impressed ware, dull red ware, grit tampered red ware, and chocolate slipped red ware, burnished red ware and grey ware. The ceramics show affinity with the pottery found from upper level at the excavation at Golbai-Sasan carried out by B.K. Sinha and later by Deccan College, under the direction R.K. Mohanty. However, the ceramics assemblages at Golbai Sasan in the lowermost level were absolutely handmade which could not be seen at this site. This therefore suggests to date the site a little later than Golbai-Sasan. Apart from ceramics, there were also found adzes and celts made from dolorite. Some adzes found were not grounded and were crude in nature. This suggested their manufacturing close to the site. 52 Annual Report 2012-13

The recovery of full adult human burial during Protohistoric period of Odisha was for the first time. At Golbai, a burial of a child was found whose head was missing. However, the recovery of this skeleton at Harirajpur in fact gave an idea about the idea of the life after death and the rituals associated for some individuals of the then people. The people used living areas for disposal of the dead and the feet of the dead were chopped off. However, there might have been other modes of disposal since no other skeletons were encountered during the excavation. A lot of floral and faunal remains were recovered and are under investigation. The excavation was fruitful since it helped in studying Fig. 4 : Stone Adzes and celts one more Neolithic-Chalcolithic site which marked the beginning of the plant and animal domestication in Odisha and later led to the formation of the complex societies during Early Historic period.

P.P. Dandwate l Exploration in Nanded and Yavatmal Districts : In the year 2011-12 archaeo-logical excavation at Shiur was undertaken jointly by the Department of Archaeology of the Deccan College Post-graduate and Research Institute, Pune, and the Department of Archaeology, Solapur University, under the direction of Dr.P.P.Dandwate of the Deccan College. The site is located on the right bank of river Painganga in Hadgaon Taluka, 75 km north east from Nanded in Nanded district of Maharashtra, Lat. 19o 40' 46" N, Long. 77o 27' 39". On the basis of evidences it reveals that there was a settlement in late Satvahana period (2nd Century A.D.) which was continued till 7th-8th Century A.D. Number of early historical objects; aricanut shaped T.C.beads, T.C. bangles & figurines, bangles & beads of shell, beads of semiprecious stones, beads & bangles of glass have been found. Annual Report 2012-13 53

It was desire of the excavator to continue the excavation at Shiur in the next session of 2012-13 also, but due to some reasons the excavation could not be undertaken. But an exploration was undertaken by Dr.Dandwate and Dr. Gurudas Shete in February 2013 in Nanded and Yavatmat districts near village Shiur to locate archaeological sites. Total two Early Historic and one late medieval habitation sites found during exploration; Borkhi, Gojegaon and old Marlegaon. l Explortion at Loni-Bhpkar: Loni-Bhapkar is located about 70 km South-east of Pune. There is a Siva temple of Yadava period dated to 12th Century C.E. The temple complex comprises one more temple dedicated to Dattatreya and a puskarni.Very close to the temple close a habitation mound is located. The mound was explored by Dr. Dandwate and Mr.Gajul in March 2013. Surface collection includes the medieval pottery, brick and vitrified brick. On the basis of exploration carried out on the mound, a proposal of excavation has been submitted to ASI by Dr. Dandwate. Excavations: l Excavation at Birjakhedi : Birjakhedi is located in Hoshangabad district of Madhya-Pradesh on the bank of river Narmada. It is a chalcolithic site and excavation was carried out by State Department of Archeology, Government of Madhya-Pradesh in 2012-13. Dr.Dandwate participated in the excavation for about four days. Temple Survey Work: l Rock-cut Caves, Shiur, Revisited : Archaeological excavation carried out at Shiur, district Nanded by Deccan College, in 2011-12, it is an early historic site. Very close to the site are located rock cut caves. These caves were studied by staff and students during the excavation. There are four caves, all are unfinished. These caves are dedicated to Hinduism depicting images of God & Goddess where Vaishnavism, is dominant. These caves were revisited in 2012- 13 along with Dr.Gurudas Shete. l Koppeshwar Temple, Khidrapur. Revisited : It is located 60 km west of Kolhapur. It is one of the best example of bhumija style of temple Architecture. It belongs to Silahara period (11th 12th Cent. AD.) It is dedicated to |Lord . Speciality of the temple is swarg mandap and gajathar. Swarga mandap without roof and is open to sky where asthadikpalas are depicted along with consorts on their vehicles. One of the main features of the temple is Gajathar because all the deities; Shiv, Brahma, Ganesh, Saraswati, Vishnu etc. are shown seated on elephant. 54 Annual Report 2012-13

l Siva Temple, Palasdeo- Revisited : It is located on Solapur- Pune National highway No.9 near Indapur in . It is dedicated to Lord Shiva and dated to 12th Cent. A.D. It is also bhumija style temple. The temple is presently sub-merged in Ujani dam on river Bhima. Only amalaka portion on shikara is visible remaining temple is under the water. There is another temple at palasdeo located on the bank of the river Bhima. It is locally known as Surya temple but we observed that it is a Vaishnav temple. The temple is dilapidated condition, super structure is completely collapsed. On the mandovar scenes from Ramayan, other god and goddess are depicted. Study Tours: 1.

The total number of visitors during the year are 4139.

ARCHAEOZOOLOGY P.P. Joglekar Research and Fieldwork 1. With an invitation from the BHU, Varanasi, faunal material from the site of Pakkakot was examined in August 2012. The multi-culture site of Pakkakot (25° 46' 13" N; 84° 0' 36"E) is located in the ancient bed of river Chhoti Saryu (Tons) in Ballia district of Uttar Pradesh. It is situated about 16 km west of the district headquarter on the Ballia-Rasara road. Department of Ancient Indian History, Culture & Archaeology, conducted a limited excavation at Pakkakot in 2012. The faunal material collected from field season Annual Report 2012-13 55

in 2010-11 excavation was examined earlier. A random sample of the faunal material recovered from the multi-culture site of Pakkakot (District Ballia, Uttar Pradesh) was preserved and handed over for examination. The material was studied using standard archaeozoological methods and a protocol established at the Archaeozoology Laboratory, Deccan College, Pune. The study revealed presence of seven domestic species (cattle, buffalo, goat, pig, horse, ass and dog), eight wild mammals (gaur, nilgai, sambar, spotted deer, four-horned antelope, blackbuck, wild pig and wolf), reptiles (Gharial, Indian Sawback turtle Turtle skeletal element from Pakkakot and Ganges Soft Shell Turtle), and a freshwater fish species (rohu). Some of these animal species identified from 2012 material are different than those found in 2011 material. 2. With an invitation from the BHU, Varanasi, faunal material from the site of Bahola Khalsa in Karnal district of Haryana was examined in August 2012. The site of Bahola Khalsa in Karnal district of Haryana was first documented by Suraj Bhan (1975: 125). He described it as having Late Harappan and PGW phase occupation. The archaeological site at Bahola Khalsa is relatively small in size. It is readily visible on the flat landscape of Haryana. The site is located in the middle of agricultural fields. Bahola Khalsa was excavated on a small scale by the Dept. of Archaeology of Banaras Hindu University and University of Cambridge in 2012 as a part of the Land, Water and Settlement project (R.N. Singh, personal communication). Two 5 × 5 m trenches were excavated. The depth of cultural deposit was variable, ranging from 200 to 280 cm, with the natural soil sloping from east to west. The site revealed presence of the Late Harappan, Painted Grey Ware (PGW) and Early Historic occupation. The faunal remains from all the occupation phases were analysed (n=417). The faunal material of the Late Harappan cultural phase revealed presence of domestic cattle, buffalo, sheep, goat, dog, wild pig, four-horned antelope and hare, besides a species of bird- Anas crecca (Common teal). A few skeletal elements were modified to make objects such as tools by polishing and cutting with sharp instruments. 56 Annual Report 2012-13

3. The site of Rupnagar (30° 57' 59.04? N; 76° 31' 59.16? E), also referred as Rupar (Ropar) is approximately 12 ha in spread and is located on the left bank of River Sutlej. It was excavated by the Excavation Branch II of the Archaeological Survey of India in 2012. A total of 21 trenches were excavated of which six trenches dug on northeastern portion of the mound showed habitation levels of the Harappan / Bara culture (V.N. Prabhakar, personal communication 2012). The faunal material from the Harappan / Bara culture examined in totality revealed presence of almost all the species reported earlier. But there was no trace of elephant, house rat (perhaps were later intrusions), Trionyx gangeticus and Chitra indica. A few new species identified include wild pig, blackbuck, four-horned antelope, gazelle, sambar, spotted deer and Indian hare. The non-mammalian species were Cyprea moneta (Cowrie), Lamellidens sp. (freshwater mussel) and rohu fish (Labio rohita). 4. The Mature Harappan site of Karanpura, Hanumangarh District, Rajasthan was excavated by excavated by the Excavation Branch II of the Archaeological Survey of India in 2013. A total of 1690 fragments of animal skeletal elements were examined. These revealed presence of following species:

Domestic Mammals Wild Mammals Nom-Mammals Bos indicus Boselaphus tragocamelus Gallus domesticus Bubalus bubalis Axis axis Trionyx gangeticus Capra hircus Cervus unicolor Lissemys punctata Ovis aries Muntiacus muntjak Labeo rohita Canis familiaris Tetracerus quadricornis Lamellidens sp. Antilope cervicapra Digoniostoma pulchella Gazella bennetti Corbicula striatella Sus scrofa Pila globosa Herpestes edwardsii Hystrix indica Rattus rattus Lepus nigricollis

A. Deshpande-Mukherjee 1. Ongoing study of faunal remains from Bhirrana, a Harappan site in Haryana and early historic site of Sishupalgarh in Orissa. Annual Report 2012-13 57

2. Completed and submitted the report on the faunal remains from Dihar a Chalcolithic settlement in Bengal excavated by Dept of Archaeology and Ancient Indian History, Kolkata University under the supervision of Dr. R.K. Chatopadhya. 3. In connection with the UGC major research project shell studies were carried out at the State dept of Archaeology and Museums at Hyderabad, Bhopal and Vadodara. 4. Carried out exploration in and around Somnath coast, Junagad district, Gujarat along with Ms. Soumi Sengupta from Deccan College PGRI, Pune and Ms. Oishi Roy from MS. University, Vadodara. This season explorations were confined to the town of Somnath and its neighbouring coastal areas such as Sutrapada, Kodinar and Charra. Explorations were mainly focussed on three areas in the vicinity of the main Somnath temple. The vacant land lying behind the Somnath Trust office, Rudraheshwar mandir and the parking lot was explored. The entire area is traversed by wall like structures made up of milliolites enclosing mounds which rise to a height of around 10-15 ft. These represent some kind of fortification from the medieval times. The entire area is covered with thorny acacia trees and uninhabited. A few step wells are present. Explorations on the top of the mounds, fortification walls and areas below revealed the presence of ceramic sherds mostly of the red polished ware. Of significance are two broken sprinklers. A piece of lustrous red ware was found on the surface (Prof. Shinde per.comm). Besides these a few pieces of Chinese porcelain were also collected. In addition to ceramics an appreciable number of shell bangle fragments and sawn shell fragments of Turbinella pyrum were obtained from the surface of the elevated mounds. The latter are not found to be concentrated in one particular area but occur dispersed all over. These comprised parts from the apex, columella and main whorl. They display saw cuts and represent shell debitage resulting from the manufacture of shell bangles. Bangle fragments vary from plain to slightly decorated ones. From the same area a small circular stone bead made up of chalcedony was also recovered. Marine gastropod shells belonging to Cypraea sp., Conus sp., Thais sp., Umbonium, Oliva sp. were found on the surface of these mounds. Section scraping was carried out at two locations. One was a huge pit dug near the base of the fortification close to the parking lot. This revealed fragmented pottery. In the previous season 2011-12 a good section of the sand dune deposit had been exposed close to the base of the modern Somnath temple revealing pottery and bones. Here scraping was carried out on a section having a height of 4.80 m (GPS location 20° 53' 19.9" N, 70° 24' 17.7" E). 58 Annual Report 2012-13

2-4.80 m pottery and shell. 1.50-2m pottery. 1-1.50m pottery and marine shell. 50-1m pottery, animal bones, marine shell and charcoal. 0-50 cm pottery, animal bones, marine shells and charcoal. By section scraping pottery, shells and bone along with soil and charcoal samples were collected. One half of a broken terracotta object shaped like an areca nut bead with a circular hole and a flat base was found in the section at 0-50cm. At both its ends there are three parallel grooves lines around the circular perforation in the centre. The object measured 39.71mm. in height, 49.71 mm. in diameter, while the diameter of the circular hole was 10.28mm. Looking at the size of the hole it is quite likely a thick rope might have been used. Due to the coastal location of Somnath the object is tentatively identified as a net sinker. A fragment from the spire portion of Turbinella pyrum was also found in the sections. From the entire section a good number of pottery sherds animal bones and shells were recovered. Of significance is the presence of a base of a vessel identified as BI ware (glazed ceramics from the Persian gulf (Prof. Shinde pers.comm.). Charcoal and shell samples have been sent to BSIP Lucknow for radiocarbon dating while pottery, bone, shell and soil samples are being studied at Deccan College Pune. Ph and Phosphate analysis was carried out by Mr. Sachin Joshi in the chemistry lab at Deccan college.

PALAEONTOLOGY V. G. Sathe 1. "Equus Project with special reference to its taxonomy, diet and domestication". (2011-12). As part of the ongoing work in this project of "Equus", extensive library and referencing work was carried out and detailed skeletal morphology of equids was documented. During the year 2011-12, 13 complete skeletons of thoroughbred horses were collected from Wadia Stud Farm in Pune city for morphological and histological comparative studies. The skulls of these 13 individuals provided detailed qualitative and quantitative parameters for calvaria which are a ready reference for comparative studies of ancient equids from Indian Pleistocene. Bioapatite crystallography is also a part of the project where powder XRD data on large mammals (recent and fossils) is being examined for taxonomy and taphonomic interpretations.

Palaeobotany (Archaeobotany/Palaeoethnoboatny): 1. Palaeoethnobotanical Investigations from Agiabir, District Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh The investigation of archaeobotanical remains from an ancient Agiabir, which lies in Mirzapur district of Uttar Pradesh in the middle Ganga basin, has brought to light advanced agriculture based subsistence economy of settlers since Annual Report 2012-13 61

Chalcolithic, Pre Northern Black Polished Ware with Iron Age, typical Northern Black Polished Ware, Sunga Kushana to Gupta period (1000 B.C.-500 A. D.). Most of the plant remains recovered from Agiabir, found in carbonized and semi-carbonized state of seeds and fruits of cultivated and wild plants along with a bulk of wood charcoal pieces. These could survive in the carbonized state by being exposed to heat or fire. The ancient settlers subsisted on the starch rich cereals viz., rice (Oryza sativa L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L. emend. Bowden); supplemented with the protein rich pulses like lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.), horse-gram (Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc.), field pea (Pisum arvense L.), moth-bean (Vigna aconitifolia (Jacq.) Marechal.), black-gram (Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper), green-gram (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek), etc. Besides, grains of Kodo millet (Paspalum scrobiculatum L.); seed remains of oil-seed crop linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.); fruit seed of jujube (Ziziphus nummularia (Burm. f.) W.&A.) and seeds of semal (Bombax ceiba L.) have been encountered. Other economically important seeds of wild and weedy plants, in association with these crop plants furnish information of crop fields and their ecology of ancient cultural settlements in the middle Ganga basin region. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of archaeobotanical remains shows exponential growth of agricultural development at Agiabir from Chalcolithic to Gupta period. 2. Palaeoethnobotanical Investigations from Kaundinyapura, Taluka Chandur of Amaravati district Completed the palaeoethnobotanical studies from Kaundinyapura (200 58 N and 780 08 E) located on the western bank of Wardha river, in Chandur taluka of Amaravati district. It is exclusively based on the analytical studies of 61 samples of well preserved carbonized plant remains recovered from the excavations of the season 2000-01. The investigations of carbonized seeds and fruit remains recovered from the deposits at Kaundinyapura have brought to light affluent information on advanced agriculture economy during Iron Age (800-400 B. C.). 3. Palaeoethnobotanical Investigations from Karsola, District Jind, Haryana The analysis of some archaeobotanical samples collected from Karsola, District Jind, Haryana resulted into the less preservation of food grains and lot of charcoal bits. Very few grains of Barley and some seeds belong to weedy and wild taxa has been recovered from the site. 4. Plant macro remains from Early Historic Vessel, Gilund, Rajasthan Dr. Satish Naik has recovered plant macro remains from the Early Historic Vessel by employing dry sieving and wet sieving techniques in the laboratory. He 62 Annual Report 2012-13

has recovered the carbonized state of cultivated barley grains and some cut grains with a bulk of wood charcoal pieces. The report of the same has been submitted to Prof. V. S. Shinde. 5.. Plant macro remains from Farmana Burial The plant macro remains sent by Dr. Veena Mushrif collected from the secondary burial of Farmana site were critically studied by Dr. Naik. The carbonised grains were examined under low power binocular microscope for any recognizable morphological details, measurements and photographs taken. The report of the same has been submitted. 6. Quaternary Pollen Analysis and Palaeoenvironmental Study: Completed the pollen analysis and palaeoenvironmental studies of the soil samples collected from the site of and Mandad, District Raigad of Maharashtra State. This research attempted multidisiplinary approaches viz., palaeopalynology, palaeoecology, geomorphology, lithostratigraphy, sedimentology, micro-foraminifera analysis, biogeochemical, statistical and archaeo-chronological correlations using process based approach, coupled with modern floristic study. These efforts have placed the interpretation and understanding of past environmental changes in Konkan Coast of India, with special reference to archaeological deposits of 3 m thickness at Chaul and 1 m thickness at Mandad. The palynological data belonging to different ecological groups such as upland, lowland, fresh-water swamp and water edge, back- water mangroves, coastal elements and marine elements have been identified. Also, foraminiferal linings and micro-foraminifera of marine environment have been reported from the prehabitational deposits of the Chaul and Mandad.

Results and discussion of Chemical Analysis of samples from site Malli, District - Gondia, State- Maharashtra A) Site - Malli 2010-11. Trench - D

pH analysis - As far as pH values in trench D are concerned near about seven. They are indicating neutral or slightly acidic nature of the deposit. Natural soil from the same site shows pH value 7.0. In comparison with the natural soil there is no different trend observed in pH values. Organic Carbon Analysis- Large amount of organic carbon is found at a depth of 5 -15cm. It is more than the amount of organic carbon in natural soil. At the same depth pH and phosphate is also very high i.e. 7.2 and 0.21 respectively. Organic carbon at all depth looks comparatively low except at the depth of 5 -15cm and 150 -160cm. (see the graph below) 66 Annual Report 2012-13

Phosphate Analysis - Phosphate content in natural soil is very low. In the habitational soil phosphate content shows values more than 0.2% thus confirming the state of occupation. Highest amount of phosphate i.e. 0.715% is observed at the depth of 2.1m and overall it is observed that there is three to four times increase in the amount of phosphate in soil samples obtained from habitational deposits as compared to natural or non habitational soil.

Soil samples for phosphate analysis (site -Somnath) Site - Somnath Year - 2013 Location - Somnath parking lot Results: - Sample Depth pH Optical Colourimetric % P %P2O5 No. (Meter) density reading 1 Phase I 7.2 0.33 4.6 0.23 0.526 2 Phase II 7.2 0.35 4.9 0.245 0.561 3 Phase III 7 0.34 4.7 0.235 0.538 4 Phase IV 7.3 0.43 6.1 0.305 0.698

5 Phase V 7.4 0.36 5.1 0.255 0.583

Somnath parking lot There is not much change in pH values. pH is more than seven. So soil is slightly alkaline in nature. Soil is poor for antiquity or bone preservation. Amount of phosphate in the natural soil is less than 0.1%. Soil from site Somnath near parking lot shows more than 0.1% of phosphate in all the phases. Soil looks perfectly habitational in nature. There is slightly increase in amount of phosphate in the phase IV. Site - Somnath Year - 2013 Location - Somnath beach (Mahadev shrine) Results: - Annual Report 2012-13 67

Sample Depth pH Optical Colourimetric % P %P2O5 No. (cm) density reading 1 0 - 50 7.6 0.44 6.2 0.31 0.709

2 50 - 100 7.2 0.65 9.3 0.465 1.064 3 100 - 150 7.9 0.8 11.4 0.57 1.3

4 150 - 200 7.1 0.85 12.1 0.605 1.385

Somnath Mahadev shrine pH values near Mahadev shrine at site Somnath are greater than seven. It means soil becomes alkaline in nature in that region. Soil from 50cm to 200cm depth is slightly alkaline in nature. Amount of phosphate in this section decreases with increase in depth. At lowest level i.e. 50cm amount of phosphorus is 0.31% and at the close to surface level i.e. 200 cm, it is 0.605%. It means twice greater than 50 cm depth. Rate of habitation near Mahadev shrine decreases with decrease in depth of the section. At the lowest level phosphate contents looks very low. With the help of these observation we can easily conclude that rate of habitation is higher at 200cm level as compared to lowest level i.e. 50cm.

ART AND ARCHITECTURE Abhijit Dandekar 1. Explorations Carried out survey of the memorial stones that are carved on the right hand wall of the ganesh lena at Junnar. These memorial stones are essentially the Sati stones. A careful study revealed that these Sati stones belong to different time period and hence a chronological sequence could be deduced through this study. It also revealed that the cave was under 'occupation' after it was deserted by the Buddhist monks some time during 3rd-4th centuries CE. This occupation is of a much later period, i.e. 8th-9th centuries CE and it continued to be occupied till around 16th-17th centuries CE. The cave, during this period functioned as a memorial gallery. 68 Annual Report 2012-13

ETHNOARCHAEOLOGY

Shahida Ansari 1. Study of the Antiquities of Rupnagar, Rupnagar District, Punjab The site of Rupnagar (30° 57' 59.04'' N 76° 31' 59.16'' E) was first excavated by Y.D. Sharma during 1953-54 and 1954-55, and re-excavated for a single season by V.N. Prabhakar, Excavation Branch, ASI and myself in 2011-12. The excavation has brought to light a six period cultural sequence representing; mature Harappan culture, Painted Grey Ware, Northern Black Polished Ware, Sunga-Kushana, Gupta and Huna artefacts, and medieval assemblage. The site has revealed (2011-12), Harappan pottery, Bara pottery, Painted Grey Ware, Northern Black Polished Ware, Early Historic and Medieval pottery, terracotta triangular cakes, faunal and botanical remains, and iron slag. Around 1000 antiquities includes; bangles (made on shells, glass, terracotta, faience), beads (steatite, stone, shell, terracotta), bone objects, bone points, chert blades, coins (copper, lead), copper objects, dice, gold objects, hopscotch, iron objects, ivory objects, scrubbers, seals (steatite, terracotta), stone objects (include saddle querns, rotating quern, muller and pestle), and terracotta objects (animal figurine, bird figurine, human figurine, miscellaneous items). This gives us an opportunity to study why, when, and how the marker of economy and contacts make their foothold and evolve in such civilization. In this season the main aim was to study the terracotta and coins in relation to other associated finds of Rupnagar with above-mentioned objectives. The antiquities of season 2011-12 are presently stored at ASI-Excavation Branch at Purana Qila, Delhi, hence the documentation was carried out in Purana Qila. The material culture like terracotta and coin of Early Historic period were studied at the site this year. The earliest evidence of terracotta belongs to Kushana period and continues up to British Period, no terracotta object has yet been observed belonging to Harappan levels. Terracotta objects (460) were analysed which included human figurines, animal figurines, bird figurines, sealings, mould, sling balls, spindle whorl, hopscotch, gamesmen, lamps, skin rubbers, stamp, , finger-ring, perforated disc, miniature goblets unidentified animal and human figurines and miscellaneous objects, The terracotta figurines are made with casting, single and double moulding techniques, some are hand and some made. An attempt is made to understand when these artefacts made their way to the site and what it says of the terracotta craft and its development at the site. Most of the coins (28) found at the site are on copper and are corroded except three lead coins, and one British India coin. The coins were scientifically cleaned before cataloguing. 70 Annual Report 2012-13

Nisha Sawant Ethnographic investigation at Greater Mumbai In continuation of last year's hypothesis of Market Strategies and its relation with Development of city, this year the major concentration was provided to Markets of Mumbai. Previous year a thorough survey was conducted in and around Mangaldas Market. This year it was primly concentrated on Mulji-Jetha Market of Mumbai. Visits to market association were held to understand the history and development. Interviews were arranged with shop keepers and management authorities of the market associations. The present filed work and the last years work was giving some missing links. Hence, for detailed references Archives of Times of India was visited. News papers since 1850's are the major criteria to refer Times. The work with Times of India is still in progress. It is quite helpful to tally the records with present condition of Market. Individual Researches Gopal Joge Research I undertook a research project entitled "Study of Epic Narratives panels of the Pattadakal Temple" aims of my study are to define the religious scenario on the basis of sculptural depictions. To study the inter relationship between religious literature, myths and folklore for describing the importance of 'Epics' shaping the socio-cultural setting of Early Chalukyas of Badami in historical frame. Exploration was carried out in the month March accompanied by Dr. Abhijit Dandekar. In this visit we have done detail documentation and photography in which includes Papanath, Kasi Vishveshvar, and Virupaksh temple. Study tour 1 For understanding the early Buddhist cave architecture of western India along with Dr. Abhijeet Dandekar and the student of M.A. II we visited Karle and Bhaje and Bedasa; in the month of August. 2 Student of 'Ancient Indian Paleography and Epigraphy' and 'Art and Architecture of India' (M.A.II) organized short study tour for studying 'Satavahana' and 'Western Kshatrapa' inscriptions and development of rock-cut architecture and its architectural peculiarities; we visited Nasik group of caves, In that study tour we also visited Gondeshwar temple at Sinner Dist.Nasik and Numismatic research institute Anjneri Dist. Nasik. Annual Report 2012-13 71

P.S. Shirvalkar Field Work In continuation of previous work the site of Kotada Bhadli was excavated under my directorship in collaboration with Y.S. Rawat, Director, Gujarat State Department of Archaeology, Gandhinagar, Gujarat. The site has produced very important evidence of Sorath Harappan settlement in Kachchh region of Gujarat. A residential complex and fortification wall was excavated during this season. The site has produced important evidence of copper smelting in form of crucibles.

Gurudas Shete 1. Exploration in Painganga Valley a. The exploration was conducted with main investigator Dr. Pramod Dandawate. It brought to light three Early Historic habitation sites and one medieval habitation site in the valley. At several villages the medieval remains of temples were also located. 2. Exploration in Narmada, at Samnapur a. Participated in the exploration of above mentioned site with the main investigator Dr. Sheila Mishra. The exploration was intended to investigate the various alluvium units along the Narmada, near Samnapur, and Paleolithic findings in their context.

Astha Dibyopama Rang-Mahal Culture of Northwestern Rajasthan - Rang Mahal culture is the culture of North western India which comes under the time frame of late Kushana period. Identical feature of this culture is Rang Mahal pottery, lavishness with which the potters have decorated, chiefly by painting, the various types of vessels with floral, zoomorphic and geometrical pattern. It is because of this earlier explorer mistook Rang Mahal pottery for the Harappan pottery. Majority of the Rang Mahal sites consist 72 Annual Report 2012-13 pottery and occasionally terracotta figurines and Kushana coins. The only site of the Rang Mahal culture, which has been excavated, is the type site of Rang Mahal, and most of our information of this culture comes from this single site.

Kanchana Bhaisare Early Historic Period, Vakataka (250-550 CE). The Early Historic period of the State of Maharashtra is generally put within the bracket between 6th century BCE and 6th century CE. The Mauryan and the Guptas are the well known dynasties in the North who took control over ancient India. Whereas, the Satavahanas were the first ruling family in southern part of India, especially Deccan region. After the Satavahanas, the Vakatakas emerged as a powerful kingdom. Vidarbha was known from time immemorial. The epicenters of Vakataka kingdom have been confined to Vidarbha region of Maharashtra state. The classical remains of art, architecture and literature were noticed during the Vakataka period from the Vidarbha region. However, the attempt to know more about the lifestyle of the society during the Vakataka period is made on the basis of archaeological remains recovered from recent archaeological excavations and explorations of the Vakataka sites. In this context the role of the archaeological material is crucial for understanding the past even during the Vakataka time. Ancient India has witnessed a few powerful and prosperous empires, the Vakatakas were one amongst them, and to know the life-way of the society is a great task to the historians and archaeologists alike. The remains of miniature shiva-linga, Vishnu, Mahishasurmardini, Yaksha and Naga are indicating the faith of the society on Shaiva, Vaishnav, Shakti cult and folk worship. The remains of toy such as dice, while etc., signify the nature of amusement of the society. Similarly, the remains of bangle piece, finger ring, hair-do etc., reflected special their likeness or style of life. Remains artifacts and ecofacts such as sickle, rotary quern and charred food-grains are indicating their agrarian economy of the society. Overall archaeological remains reflected the life-ways of the Vakataka society. Write up has been submitted to Deccan College museum on Early History Sites like Dwarka, Kolhapur, Maheshwar, Nashik, Nevasa, Pune.

VI. RESEARCH

Sonal Kulkarni-Joshi 1. June-July 2012. Telugu-Marathi Bilingualism. Data on Telugu-Marathi bilingualism were collected from two speakers in Pune (one male aged 62 and one female aged 58). The data were collected with a view to making a - [i] comparison with Kannada-Marathi bilingualism in Maharashtra and [ii] comparison with Telugu-Marathi bilingualism in Solapur district of Maharashtra which is closer to the border with Andhra Pradesh. Data were collected using the methodology devised by the department for the SAP project. Analysis of the data is in progress. 2. 10-22 December 2012. Fieldwork for UGC-sponsored Major Research Project titled Internally Displaced Populations and Multilingual Spaces: A Sociolinguistic Perspective. Data were collected from speakers of Bhili (Noiri) and Pawari in Taloda and Akrani talukas of Nandurbar district. 3. December 2012 - present. Language Contact and the pre-history of Marathi. This project was taken up to investigate the validity of the hypothesis regarding processes of pidgnisation in the formation of the Marathi language around 1000 AD. Data were drawn from Old Marathi texts - l Dnyaneshwari - a commentary on the Gita by Saint Dnyaneshwar (dated: 1290 AD) l Lilacharitra - biography of Chakradhar Swami, a leader of the Mahanubhava sect compiled by his follower, Mhaimbhat (dated: late 13th century) l Inscriptions (dated from circa 1063 to 1298 AD) All texts use the vernacular of the locals, i.e. Marathi (as against Sanskrit or Maharashtri Prakrit). The language of the Leelas and that in the inscriptions is said to be very close to the spoken vernacular in the thirteenth century. The relative-correlative and negative constructions were investigated; there is evidence for structural complexification in these three Old Marathi texts which goes against the hypothesis regarding reduction and pidgnisation. 122 Annual Report 2012-13

[2] 11-16 FEBRUARY 2013. Workshop on Argumentation in Studies of Language Contact and Language Change by Prof. Hans Henrich Hock (Emeritus Professor, University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign, USA) 132 Annual Report 2012-13

This workshop was aimed at training young scholars in assessing the value of contact-based explanations for language change. Studies of linguistic diachrony run up against the dilemma of whether to ascribe shared linguistic features across genetic boundaries to 'natural transmission' or to 'interference' resulting from contact with other languages. At times, such classic cases have been resolved by introducing the possibility of multiple causation - a mixture of internal and external (contact) factors (e.g. the presence of retroflex consonants in Vedic Sanskrit). In dealing with an analytical problem in language change, what counts as a process of systematic and methodical reasoning and how does one arrive at a valid conclusion by formulating a set of coherent and relevant arguments? The workshop had around 45 participants - these included the students, research scholars and faculty of the department as well as research scholars from University of Kashmir, Srinagar; CIIL, Mysore; Dept. of Linguistics, Dharwad University; WRLC, Pune, and Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth, Pune. In the course of the workshop, Prof. Hock discussed case-studies of contact at the sub-continental as well as local levels involving Indo-Aryan-Dravidian, Tibeto-Burman - Indo- Aryan and Munda-Indo-Aryan - Dravidian languages. [3] One-day workshop on Marathi in Contact Situations by Prof. Rajeshwari Pandharipande (Professor Emerita. University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign, USA) on 9 February 2013. Faculty members and research scholars from the department, and invited scholars met for a preliminary workshop for researchers working on Marathi in contact situations. The group drew an outline to be used as a guideline for future collaborative work on contact varieties of Marathi and plans to meet again in 2013. [4] Workshop on Issues and Challenges in Machine Translation. 18-19 March 2013. The Department of Linguistics has successfully organised a workshop on Issues and Challenges in Machine Translation on 18th and 19th March. Conducted by Prof Dipti Misra Sharma from Language Technology Research Centre, IIIT Hyderabad. Around 28 participants were present in the workshop. Prof Dipti Misra Sharma has been working in LTRC of IIIT Hyderabad since its inception in 1998. She is associated with NLP-MT lab of LTRC where works are going on in different sub-areas of NLP including syntax and parsing, semantics and WSD, discourse and treebanks, machine translation etc. In the workshop, she delivered lectures on the following topics: Annual Report 2012-13 133

Day 1 Lecture 1: Introduction to MT: Issues and Challenges Lecture 2: Steps in building a Machine Translation system

Day 2 Lecture 3: Shallow Parsing in Indian Languages with practical sessions Lecture 4: Building Treebank for Indian languages Prof. Misra Sharma discussed different NLP tasks for shallow parsing like Morphological analyzer, POS tagging and Chunking in the third session followed by sharing the guidelines developed by LTRC for these tasks and the practical application of these tasks. The fourth session also had more practical aspects and she shared the guidelines for annotating Treebank in Indian languages. The students and the faculty members of the department of Linguistics had thought-provoking and interesting discussions with her on different issues related to Machine Translation. The workshop benefitted the students of Linguistics to explore new avenues for research in the emerging and challenging field of Computational Linguistics. We hope to build a collaborative relation with IIIT Hyderabad which can be a beginning of starting NLP related projects, especially for doing Marathi Computational Linguistics, in the department of Linguistics.

VI. DEPARTMENTAL RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

An Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Sanskrit on Historical Principles l Salient features of the Encyclopaedic Dictionary The Encyclopaedia traces the linguistic development of Sanskrit words from the ancient text of the ƒgveda to the latest work of H°sy°∞ava. It provides the detailed linguistic /phonetic changes that have occurred in various words and their derivations. Also the Deccan College Encyclopaedic Dictionary traces the semantic development of various words. It provides the entire range of meanings prevalent in the Vedas and other texts. The meanings are logically analyzed and various nuances and shades are interlinked. The Encyclopaedic Dictionary is based on the Historical Principles. It arranges the words and their meanings strictly following the chronological order of their references. It records all the available vocables in the language from all its periods beginning with the ƒgveda to the end of the 19th century. Different meanings are arranged historically and under each meaning the citations are arranged chronologically to clarify the meaning, along with an indication of the discipline from which they are taken and with a precise reference. The Encyclopaedic Dictionary provides information regarding the exact form of the vocables as a guide, the part of the speech of the word to which it belongs, accent, etymology of the word, origin, derivation and the development in Indo- Aryan, it records important and irregular forms; it gives traditional information regarding the vocable from Sanskrit itself, summary of meanings, analysis of meaning; peculiarities of usage and idiomatic expressions. Also the Encyclopaedic Dictionary provides information regarding culture, history, archaeology, mythology, geography, indication of compound formations etc. Also it enters the vocables following the concepts of homonymy, synonymy, polysemy and hyponymy among words.

VII. ONGOING RESEARCH PROJECTS OF THE FACULTIES

Dr. V.P. Bhatta Tattvacint°ma∞i - Thought Jewel of Reality Prof. Bhatta has been working on ambitious project of the translation of Tattvacint°ma∞i. The Navya-ny°ya, which heralded a new era in the development of Logic in India, has brought a revolutionary change in the outlook of the Ny°ya philosophy. It has systematized all the Ny°ya and the Vai∂e∑ika concepts under four heads, viz. pratyak∑a, anum°na, upam°na and ∂abda. The Tattvacint°ma∞i 154 Annual Report 2012-13 which is composed by Ga¨gesopadhy°ya of Mithila, deals with all the important aspects of Indian philosophy, logic and epistemology and sets a standard for the scholarly discussions over philosophical topics in Modern India. Tattvacint°ma∞i, which recognized only the first of the sixteen categories of the Ny°ya-s£tras, viz. means of valid knowledge (pram°∞a), strictly adhered to the theory of four pram°∞as; and brought all the other categories under the means of knowledge. Prof. Bhatta has gone through the first proof of Pratyak∑a, the first book of the Tattvacint°ma∞i. The first book consists of Sanskrit text, English translation and explanation and exhaustive introduction discussing various aspects of Indian philosophy, viz. validity of determinate and indeterminate knowledge etc. At present he has been translating the second book of the Tattvacint°ma∞i, namely, Anum°na. This work involves a detailed English translation of inference with exhaustive notes. It includes Sanskrit text and translation with explanatory notes along with an introduction to inference discussing all aspects of Indian logic with special reference to Indian syllogism.

Dr. (Mrs.) Jayashree Sathe 1. Critical edition of G§hyaratna with the commentary Ka∞Æhabh£∑a∞a Prof. Sathe has been working for last several years on the project of - The critical edition in D®van°gari and critical study of the rare and out of print text entitled ‘G§hyaratna’ with the commentary Ka∞Æhabh£∑a∞a, which was printed in Telugu script, at Mysore, in 1896. It is a type of unique G§hyapari∂i∑Æa. It mainly discusses several G§hya rites and sacraments. In addition to these it covers number of supplementary domestic rites like A¨kur°rpa∞am, Pratisarabandhaº, Aup°san°rambhaº, Yaj≠opav¢tadh°ra∞am etc. The author ÷r¢ve¨kaÆe∂a quotes several Br°hma∞a, ÷rauta, G§hya, Sm§ti passages and views of different ¡c°ryas, yet he mainly follows the school of ¡pastamba. So the text provides valuable comparative information which throws light on the mutual relations of different Vedic schools and on the developing stage of the ritual in general. 2. Index of the S°mans ‘Index of the S°mans’ based on the text ‘Gr°mageya (Veya-prak§ti) G°n°tmaka’ ed. N. Dikshita, Paradi, 1958. Annual Report 2012-13 155

Dr. (Mrs.) Vinaya Kshirsagar Critical edition of ¡tharva∞¢ Paddhati Dr. Kshirsagar is working on the text of ¡tharva∞¢ Paddhati, a G§hya-text in the Atharvavedic tradition. This text is utilized and referred to by Bloomfield M. while preparing the critical edition of the Kau∂ikas£tra. After collating two manuscripts from Germany and one from BORI, she has prepared the text of this work with critical notes and indices. This work is very important, which gives the G§hya-rituals of the Atharvaveda, not in the style of the G§hyas£tras, but in the Prayoga-style. It deals with all the SaÌsk°ras and also some incidental rites along with those to be performed with a particular desire. After an exhaustive introduction the text is ready for press.

Dr. (Mrs.) Lalita Deodhar Comparative study of ÷ivas£tras in the light of the commentaries of Bh°skara and K∑emar°ja. ÷ivas£tras is the text which deals with the fundamental principles of Kashmir ÷aivism. K∑emar°ja’s commentary is translated in English. But Bh°skara’s commentary which represents another line of stream in Kashmir ÷aivism remained unnoticed. Comprehensive study of this commentary together with the comparison with other commentaries is of great use in this field, therefore Dr. Deodhar is working on this project with special reference to the commentaries of Bh°skara and K∑emar°ja.

Dr. P.C. Sahoo The Concept of Enemy in the Veda The Vedic Literature is not only the description of Nature or Natural Phenomena, songs of praise and glory of gods, prayers and propitiation of divine powers through offerings of suitable material known as sacrificial performances, but it contains the descriptions on negative thoughts like hatred, quarrel, jealousy, dispute, curses and suppression among the human beings also which at times lead to destructions of life and property. One can trace such descriptions in connection with some divine and supernatural powers like Devas and Asuras, Indra and V§tra, Agni and Rak∑ases. Thus the enmity or rivalry is as old as the Veda itself which is revealed through the Vedic Literature. 156 Annual Report 2012-13

To identify the enemy in the Vedic Literature is a difficult task though not impossible regarding which an attempt is proposed. A closer study indicates that the enemies of the Vedic people are of various categories such as human, non-human, superhuman, personal and common, perceptible and imperceptible, proximate as well as foreigners, borns and yet to be borns and so on. Thus, the project aims at giving a complete pen-picture of the concept of enemy and tries to focus on some unique points not deciphered so far through the available research works. Simultaneously, some possible reasons behind hatred and rivalry are also going to be discussed in this proposed work.

Dr. (Mrs.) Madhavi Kolhatkar Buddhist Fire Ritual in Japan The Project is in coordination with Prof. Dr. M. Tachikawa. It aims to illustrate and give annotated description of the Shingon Fire Ritual in Japan together with an elaborate introduction. The work will be published by the National Museum of Ethnography, Osaka, Japan.

Dr. K.N. Hota Kevalavyatireki Inference: A Study The Naiy°yikas classify inference into three types as keval°nvayi, kevalavyatireki and anvayavyatireki. This classification is based on the two types of invariable concomitance (vy°pti), positive and negative. Keval°nvayi resorts to the positive invariable concomitance only, kevalavyatireki to the negative only and anvayavyatireki to both positive and negative. However, the Bh°ÆÆa M¢m°Ìskas do oppose to the kevalavyatireki type as it involves the defect aprasiddhatva. The Pr°bh°karas do not recognize negative invariable concomitance as the ground of inference, and hence the question of recognizing kevalavyatireki does not arise at all. But the Naiy°yikas refute both the M¢m°Ìsakas, and substantiate kevalavyatireki as a distinct inference. Ga¨ge∂a as a neo-logician has presented all arguments presented by the M¢m°Ìsakas against the kevalavyatireki inference, and also has refuted them from the stand-point of the Naiy°yikas. With a view to know the Ga¨ge∂a’s contribution on this issue, Dr. Hota has proposed to translate Kevalavyatirekiprakara∞a of Ga¨ge∂a’s Tattvacint°ma∞i into English along with the explanatory notes, and this would contain the critical study of the notion of the Kevalavyatireki inference as well. Annual Report 2012-13 157

Dr. Shilpa Sumant 1. Critical edition of Karmapa≠jik° A critical edition of ÷r¢dhara’s Karmapa≠jik°, which is a paddhati type of ritual manual for conducting the domestic rituals of the Atharvaveda Paippal°dins from Orissa is planned in three volumes in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Arlo Griffiths. The editorial work is in progress since 2008. 2. Kau∂ikas£tra: A New Edition and Translation with Notes The project of new critical edition of the Kau∂ikas£tra has been undertaken in collaboration with Prof. Shrikant Bahulkar and Dr. Julieta Rotaru. The project is conducted since September 2011 by the Center of the Euroasiatic and Afroasiatic Studies, Bucharest.

XIII. SCANNING AND DIGITIZATION PROGRAMME

The Department of Sanskrit and Lexicography/SDP of the University started the long cherished Scanning and Digitization Programme from the Special Development Grants received from the UGC. The world-renowned Sanskrit Dictionary Project has collected the data references/slips numbering over 10 million (one crore) from 1456 Sanskrit texts representing 62 branches of the Sanskrit literature. Over 30 Sanskrit scholars, both traditional and modern, had worked for 25 years from 1948 to 1973 and extracted and prepared data references consisting of (a) Lemmata, (b) grammatical category, (c) possible meanings, (d) citation and (e) the name of the book and exact references. Since the data-references stored in the Scriptorium have become dilapidated and brittle, the preservation of the same is of paramount importance. The scanning and digitization programme aims firstly to preserve all the data references in digitized/electronic form and secondly aims to help to expedite and facilitate the editorial work of the Project. The Programme is running on smooth grounds. It is well disciplined and as per the schedule, the Scanning and Digitization of approximately 90 lakhs of reference slips, as well as the Scanning of 16 lakhs of pages of the reference books has been completed. Also the highlighting and interlinking of 16 lakhs of reference slips has been completed. The progress in the programme is convincing for the E-preservation of the Scriptorium.

Building of Software The Department started building of software for editing purpose and the software is expected to be ready within next few months which definitely will be conducive to the expedition of the editorial process.
