The Committee suggests that the following remarks may be taken into account by those faculty and research members of Departments/Schools, Boards of Studies in Archaeology, Institutes and Universities, while considering the recommendations for their use: i. The learning outcomes are designed to help learners understand the objectives of studying MA Archaeology, that is, to analyze, appreciate, understand and critically engage with tangible, non-tangible, literary and material sources, approaching them from various perspectives. ii. It is significant to mention here that the MA Archaeology syllabus under CBCS remains the point of reference for the LOCF recommendations. However, stakeholders (respective departments or Universities or Institutions) may make suitable alternations with justifications while selecting course, finalizing objectives keeping in view global, national and regional contexts of analysis and appreciation. iii. To this end, the texts mentioned in the LOCF document are indicative. Similarly, the organization of divisions/ themes/ genres/ periods/ authors/ areas, etc. is specific to contexts identified in the course(s) and does not pre-empt further rethinking or selection with clear justification for the choices exercised therein. iv. The organization of the courses/papers may be worked into semesters keeping in consideration the credit load with the ultimate end of outcomes of the course/programme. Learning outcomes are modifiable with due justification in view of contexts, texts selected in the course and requirements of the stakeholders, which are as diverse as are regions in the country. v. The overarching concern of the LOCF committee in Archaeology is to have definite and justifiable course outcomes and their realization by the end of the course/programme. vi. The Department/Institute/University is expected to encourage its faculty concerned to make suitable pedagogical innovations, in addition to teaching/learning processes suggested in the LOCF Recommendations, so that the Course/Programme learning outcomes can be achieved. 5 M.A. ARCHAEOLOGY PART I 1.1 INTRODUCTION: Outcome based learning is the principal end of pedagogical transactions in higher education in today’s world in the light of exponential changes brought about in science and technology, and the prevalent utilitarian world view of the society. Archaeology as a discipline falls within the special category of social science but with a multidisciplinary approach. Scientific study of past human society and social relationships forms the core of Ancient Indian History and Culture and Archaeology (AIHC). Because of advances in methods and theory, archaeology now addresses issues central to debates in the social sciences in a far more sophisticated manner than ever before. Coupled with methodological innovations, multiscalar archaeological studies around the world have produced a wealth of new data that provide a unique perspective on long-term changes in human societies, as they document variation in human behavior and institutions before the modern era. Scholars and the public typically think of archaeology as an endeavor to find earliest examples of such things as the domesticated horse or writing or cities. All too often, articles with archaeological themes in the popular media focus solely on our recovery of things associated with the particularities of history. This emphasis misrepresents archaeology, a scientific discipline that has advanced greatly in recent decades. We argue that archaeology can now make significant contributions to the broader social sciences. This advance results from two major trends: the accumulation of considerable new fieldwork data from around the world and the development of new methods and concepts that transform our evidence into reliable reconstructions of past social dynamics. In recent decades, scientifically minded archaeologists from both the anthropological and the classics traditions have found common ground in the rigorous analysis of past human societies and their changes through time. Archaeological data have several advantages for studying past societies. First, they are the only source of information about the human past before the invention of writing and the development of historiographic traditions. Thus, archaeology gives scholars access to the full range of the human experience, including social forms unlike any that have existed in modern or historical times. Second, archaeology can inform about all segments of society, including commoners, peasants, the underclass, slaves and other subaltern groups often left out of early historical accounts. Third, archaeological findings provide a long-term perspective on changes, 6 documenting the origins of agriculture, the Urban Revolution, and other transformational social changes. Indeed, archaeology is crucial to a renewed interest in the past. The relevance of AIHC and Archaeology lies in the fact that this is the discipline through, which, we can learn the history of Indian Knowledge System. Our ancesters have laid down path for holistic development but unfortunately, we are not following them. The discovery that the Earth is spherical is credited to Aristotle, who was born in 383 BCE. However, very few people know that a man from ancient India established the idea of “spherical earth” during the 8th to 9th century BCE. The Man was called Yajnavalka, who first discovered that the earth was round. He was the first to propose the heliocentric system of the planets. In his work Shatapatha Brahmana, he proposed that the earth and other planets move around the Sun. He also calculated the period of one year as 365.24675 days. This is only 6 minutes longer than the current established time of 365.24220. Take the example of Kung Fu. The whole world knows about the martial art. The person who founded Kung Fu was none other than a prince of the Pallava Dynasty from Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, who visited China during the 5th century CE. He became the 28th patriarch of Buddhism and established the Shaolin temple and founded the martial art, which is world famous today. That Prince is called Bodhidharma. But how many people know that Kung Fu and Shaolin temple was founded by an Indian? Precisely if Indians are unaware of their heritage, why should they expect that someone else will know about their history and achievements? The achievements of Ancient India are lost in obscurity. Ancestors of India had invented many ways, which eased the basic life of a common man. These inventions may seem primitive today but we cannot ignore the fact that these were revolutionary achievements during their era. The Indus Civilization is known for the broad and sanitized drainage system, which was no less than a miracle during those ancient time. But how many people know that the ancient Indian from the Indus valley were the first to invent a flush toilet? The people around the world use rulers to measure everything. How many people know that the Indus valley was the first to invent the measuring instruments? A measuring rods has been found at Lothal, which is 4450 years old. Not only this, the people of Indus valley were the first to invent buttons. The World knows that the Chinese discovered the art of silk weaving. How many know that the people from Indus Valley were the first to weave dresses made of cotton? The people of the ancient Civilization were the first to invent weighing scales. Archaeologists have discovered weights and measuring units from excavation sites at Harappa, Mohejodaro, Lothal etc. These scales were extensively used for trading. Ancient India has given Yoga to the World, which is widely practiced now. Aryabhatta, Brahmangupta and Bhaskaracharya were the three eminent mathematicians from ancient India, who established the concept of zero as a mathematical value in different eras. Brahmangupta was the first to invent a 7 symbol for the value shunya (zero). Bhaskaracharya was the first to use it in algebra. The oldest inscription of Zero can be found at the Chaturbhuj Temple in Gwalior fort. Ancient Indians were pioneers in the field of chemistry too. The LOCF for Archaeology is prepared on the contours and curricular structure provided by the UGC, and may be modified without sacrificing the spirit of CBCS and LOCF. 1.2 LEARNING OUTCOMES-BASED APPROACH TO CURRICULAR PLANNING: The main goal to develop this curriculum is for students to develop skills in the following learning elements--problem, approach, theory, analysis, and application.

  • Black and Red Ware Culture: a Reappraisal
    Black and Red Ware Culture: A Reappraisal Vinay Kumar1 1. Department of Ancient Indian History, Culture and Archaeology, Banaras Hindu University, Ajagara, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh – 221 005, India (Email: [email protected]) Received: 18 July 2019; Revised: 01 September 2019; Accepted: 06 October 2019 Heritage: Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies in Archaeology 7 (2019): 397-404 Abstract: During the last six decades Black and Red Ware has been attracting the attention of both Indian and foreign archaeologists. This pottery is characterized by two surface colours: Black interior and black and red or black and grey exterior with the black confined to the upper part of vessel. The bicolour effect is believed to be due to inverted firing or double firing technique. This ware was first reported in India at Arikamedu in 1945 by Mortimer Wheeler who described it as ‘Black and Red’ ware. Black and Red Ware is found in association with different and diverse cultural materials which are vastly differentiated in their location. For instance, in the pre-Harappan context, Neolithic context, Chalcolithic context, Iron Age context and many more. Besides this the most enigmatic aspect of this pottery tradition is its manufacturing technique. Hence, in the present paper an attempt has been made to find out various cultural traits and the personality of this culture. Keywords: Chalcolithic, Bicolour, Black and Red Ware, Tradition, Fabric, Iron Age, Cultural Context Introduction In Indian archaeology the term Black and Red Ware (BRW) has almost developed a generic meaning because of historical reasons. Consequently, a common man tends to accept this term to mean a specific cultural tradition only.

  • Ancient Cultural and Socio- Indian Subcontinent of The
    Archaeobotanical remains In ancient cultural and socio­ economical dynamics of the Indian subcontinent K. S. Saraswat Saraswat KS 1992. Archaeobotanical remains in ancient cultural and socio·economical dynamics of the Indian subcontinent. Palaeobotanist 40 : 514·545. The paper describes the ancient plant economy in the Indian subcontinent in a chronological framework of cultural development from the earliest Neolithic cultures of primitive village·farming communities to highly advanced Iron Age cultures of Early Historical Period around the beginning of the Christian Era. In an impressive array ofarchaeobotanical data generated during the last four decades, some of the salient developments include the earliest evidence of west Asian cereal cultivation dated to C. 7,000 B.C., in Neolithic Baluchistan, Pakistan, and the earliest evidence of rice cultivation during sixth millennium B.C. in the Middle Ganga Valley, India. Similarly, other notable developments sifted from the data include the viticulture and cultivation of some garden plants by the Harappans in Punjab and evidences of highly systematised and rational medicinal plants from the Iron Age cultures in Ghaghra Valley of eastern Uttar Pradesh 'deciphering the meaningful perspective of medicinal history in the Indian archaeological context. Throughout the cultural development from Harappan times to the end of first millennium B.C. the records of crop remains of West Asian, African and indigenous origin from widely scattered sites indicate well-knit trade contacts and socio'economical and cultural integration which kept evolving in new forms during the course of growth and fading of heterogeneous cultural groups in diverse geographical regions. Several new advances in the recovery and analysis of plant remains during the.recent past hold out the possibility of obtaining new informations which may drastically change our existing archaeobotanical concepts.
