Description

This scholarly work examines how ancient cultures have been interpreted to forge colonial and postcolonial identities, offering a theoretical framework that centers the agency of ancient peoples rather than the perspectives of antiquarians and archaeologists. The book progresses from antiquarianism through scientific approaches to archaeology, integrating contemporary theory with religious archaeology. It includes detailed case studies such as dicing and oracular gambling practices at Sirkap and archival analysis at Sanghol, demonstrating how material evidence illuminates past belief systems and social structures. Ideal for scholars, researchers, and students of South Asian archaeology, cultural history, and religious studies seeking rigorous exploration of how archaeological evidence shapes our understanding of identity, power, and religious practice in early Northwest India.
