Filling a distinct gap in the reference literature of
archaeology, this bibliography provides an introduction to the vast
and varied literature produced by the practice of archaeology in
the Indian subcontinent and Sri Lanka since the early 19th Century.
The annotated entries are arranged geographically by contemporary
political subdivisions, with now-vanished native states and
jurisdictions from the days of the British Raj cross-referenced to
the modern subdivision. Within each section, entries are arranged
chronologically, permitting the user to trace the inception and
development of archaeological field survey and investigation
regionally.
Summarizing the contents of each title, the annotations place
the titles within the broader context of South Asian archaeological
scholarship. An appendix lists the major Pakistani, Sri Lankan, and
Indian legislation regulating the conservation and preservation of
archaeological sites and artifacts and the antiquities trade. The
bibliography places emphasis on works in English or other Western
languages that are located easily outside of South Asia.
