“Book Descriptions: Imprints of the Past - An Archaeological Outline of Northeast India takes a fresh look at the available research on the archaeology of the Northeast from the Quaternary Period. It brings to focus the beginnings of agriculture and domestication, trade and techn as well as the great Buddhist monastic complexes of eastern India and their role in the cultural synthesis of the Ganga-Brahmaputra valleys. The study, supplemented with considerable tables and maps, comprehensively incorporates Mauryan and Gupta sites as well as rock-cut cave temples, structural temples, public architecture, stone and bronze images, inscriptions, coins, paintings and manuscripts.
In the course of the book discerning readers cannot but agree with the author that the Northeastern region of India is not an isolated zone detached from the rest of India but a region that has and continues to have a rich and uninterrupted continuum with India as a whole.” DRIVE
