  • Problems of Chronology in Gandhāran Art
    Rienjang and Stewart (eds) Problems of Chronology in Gandhāran Art Edited by Wannaporn Rienjang Peter Stewart Problems of Chronology in Gandhāran Art Since the beginning of Gandhāran studies in the nineteenth century, chronology has been one of the most significant challenges to the understanding of Gandhāran art. Many other ancient societies, including those of Greece and Rome, have left a wealth of textual sources which have put their fundamental chronological frameworks beyond doubt. In the absence of such sources on a similar scale, even the historical eras cited on inscribed Gandhāran works of art have been hard to place. Few sculptures have such inscriptions and the majority lack any record of find-spot or even general provenance. Those known to have been found at particular sites were sometimes moved and reused in antiquity. Consequently, the provisional dates assigned to extant Gandhāran sculptures have sometimes differed by centuries, while the narrative of artistic development remains doubtful and inconsistent. Building upon the most recent, cross-disciplinary research, debate and excavation, this volume reinforces a new consensus about the chronology of Gandhāra, bringing the history of Gandhāran art into sharper focus than ever. By considering this tradition in its wider context, alongside contemporary Indian art and subsequent developments in Central Asia, the authors also open up fresh questions and problems which a new phase of research will need to address. Problems of Chronology in Gandhāran Art is the first publication of the Gandhāra Connections project at the University of Oxford’s Classical Art Research Centre, which has been supported by the Bagri Foundation and the Neil Kreitman Foundation.

  • Societal and Sequential Analysis of Dubi Lake Cluster Sites in Khairpur Sindh
    106 Ancient Punjab – Volume 5, 2018 SOCIETAL AND SEQUENTIAL ANALYSIS OF DUBI LAKE CLUSTER SITES IN KHAIRPUR SINDH Qasid Mallah & Tooba Qasid ABSTRACT The present paper is one more struggle to comprise on synopsis about societal development in profound temporal framework gathered through numerous seasons of field work with particular emphasis on the lakes situated within sand dunes bordering the Rohri hills near the modern village of Dubi Mirwah in Khairpur district of Sindh Pakistan. Where in total six lakes were investigated, and a total of 34 sites associated with different periods including the Upper Paleolithic, Mesolithic to early historic period were recorded. The sites were located within close proximity of the lake environment as on the flat top surface of sand dunes, on the slopes of dunes and nearby lakeshore(s). All sites consist of surface scatter with greater difference in object assortment and viscosity. A number of sites showed presence of only one period while others reoccupied the very same spot. Hence, the present paper examines the basic questions like when, who, and how the lakes were focused? What was the availability of subsistence resource type and means of exploitation? What types of artifact(s) were left behind and what is their cultural significance in the origin and development of society within Indus valley civilization. Keywords: Societal Development, field work, Paleolithic, Mesolithic, artifacts, society, Indus Valley Civilization, explorations. INTRODUCATION The Indus Archaeologists have focused on the remains left by anceint people equally considering the space and time of occupency. The archaeologists have focused on the places where significat number of objects showing diversity of activities were found and have not left behanind the places where only few artifcats are seen on the ground giving idea of very short occupency “no more than few hours” (Renfrew and Bhan1996:46, Mallah 2002, Mallah and Talpur 2011).

  • Ca' Foscari and Pakistan Thirty Years of Archaeological Surveys And
    150 Years of Oriental Studies at Ca’ Foscari edited by Laura De Giorgi and Federico Greselin Ca’ Foscari and Pakistan Thirty Years of Archaeological Surveys and Excavations in Sindh and Las Bela (Balochistan) Paolo Biagi (Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia) Abstract This paper regards the research carried out by the Italian Archaeological Mission in Sindh and Las Bela province of Balochistan (Pakistan). Until the mid ’80s the prehistory of the two regions was known mainly from the impressive urban remains of the Bronze Age Indus Civilisation and the Pal- aeolithic assemblages discovered at the top of the limestone terraces that estend south of Rohri in Up- per Sindh. Very little was known of other periods, their radiocarbon chronology, and the Arabian Sea coastal zone. Our knowledge radically changed thanks to the discoveries made during the last three decades by the Italian Archaeological Mission. Thanks to the results achieved in these years, the key role played by the north-western regions of the Indian Subcontinent in prehistory greatly improved. Summary 1 Introduction. – 2 Archaeological Results. – 3 Discussion. – 3.1 The Chert Outcrops. – 3.2 The Late (Upper) Palaeolithic and Mesolithic sites. – 3.3 The Shell Middens of Las Bela Coast. – 3.4 The Indus Delta Country. – 4 Conclusion. Keywords Sindh. Las Bela. Indus delta. Prehistoric sites. Radiocarbon chronology. 1 Introduction Due to its location midway between the Iranian uplands, in the west, and the Thar or Great Indian Desert, in the east, the Indus Valley and Sindh have always played a unique role in the prehistory of south Asia, and the Indian Subcontinent in particular.
