The third volume of the Anuradhapura series documents the results
of six years of settlement survey, excavation and geoarchaeology in
the hinterland of the Citadel. Mapping the response of rural
communities to the growth of Anuradhapura as Sri Lankan capital and
Indian Ocean pilgrimage centre, this interdisciplinary study
presents the establishment and consolidation of settlement within
the island's Dry Zone and the associated investment in hydraulic
infrastructure from the first millennium BC onwards. It also traces
the division of hinterland settlement into either Buddhist
monastery or agricultural village with an absence of towns as well
as the hinterland's subsequent collapse in the eleventh Century AD.
Conforming to a model of Tropical Forest 'Low Density Urbanism',
this volume presents the most detailed archaeology study of the
dynamic and contested nature of a South Asia urban hinterland. (See
