Description

Explore the deep connection between settlement archaeology and Buddhist history in this scholarly work by Routledge. This book addresses the monumental bias often found in Buddhist archaeology to provide a clearer understanding of how early Buddhist monks established themselves in new regions. Focusing on the area around the Sanchi Hill UNESCO World Heritage site, the study examines the socio-religious mechanisms of Central India from the third century BC to the fifth century AD. By integrating settlement archaeology with historical records, the text offers a data-rich perspective on the relationship between Buddhism and its surrounding environments. This publication serves as a vital resource for those studying religious and social change. Through comprehensive research and heavy illustration, it provides an archaeological basis to assess theories regarding the development of early Buddhist communities and their impact on the social landscape of Central India.
