The "monumental bias" of Buddhist archaeology has hampered our
understanding of the socio-religious mechanisms that enabled early
Buddhist monks to establish themselves in new areas. To articulate
these relationships, Shaw presents here the first integrated study
of settlement archaeology and Buddhist history, carried out in the
area around Sanchi, a Central Indian UNESCO World Heritage site.
Her comprehensive, data-rich, and heavily illustrated work provides
an archaeological basis for assessing theories regarding the
dialectical relationship between Buddhism and surrounding lay
populations. It also sheds light on the role of the introduction of
Buddhism in changing settlement patterns.
This volume was originally published in 2007 by the British
Association of South Asian Studies.
