The excavation project undertaken at Anuradhapura responded to the
general lack of research on early historic cities in India. This
first volume details the environmental and geographical background
of Anuradhapura, the history of the city from the small circular
houses of the Iron Age through to the stone built architectural
structures of the 13th century AD as the city developed into a
thriving fortified metropolis. A large part of the volume is taken
up by the results of the excavations carried out between 1989 and
1994 providing a better understanding of the development of
urbanism on Sri Lanka. The second volume will include the artefacts
and materials discovered during the excavations.
