"The aims of this book to shed light on the lesser-known archaeology of India. Post-colonial Indian archaeology has typically conformed to a north-centric narrative of Indian history, as is reflected in the intensity of archaeological study of the Indus Valley Civilization in northern India and in Pakistan. While fruitful, this narrative has obscured wider examination of archaeological phenomena across India. Most of the universities in India that have a department of archaeology offer this subject at the post-graduation level and beyond it. The book addresses the general nature of theory, as well as how it is used in the social sciences and in archaeology in particular.
