Research work on coastal Bengal has mostly focused on maritime
trading networks. In a clear departure from the existing
scholarship, this volume questions the linearity of considering
trade as the sole determinant of creation of settlement in the
coastal regions. Focusing on settlement strategies, Chattopadhyay
unravels how human societies, through successive generations, have
adapted to the coastal environment and bioregime. First-hand data,
procured through extensive fieldwork, forms the sound basis of this
work. From structural remains, ceramic and bone implements, and
stone tools, to terracotta figurines and inscriptions, a vast array
of sources, including epigraphic and literary sources, is analysed.
Significantly, the volume also highlights the interconnection
between coastal geography and the hinterland. Chattopadhyay's
meticulously researched work offers a geographical and temporal
frame which allows the research on coastal Bengal to be viewed as
an integral part of the archaeological developments in not only the
subcontinent but also the adjoining region of the Southeast Asian
countries.
