  • 930.1 MIS.F
Other classification:
Summary: The book explores the threads and traces of the development of complex society from the time of the beginning of the first farming communities in the 2nd millennium BC up to the 4th century CE. Generating and analyzing data from the exploration and excavations of archeological sites, the book employs the conceptual category of heterarchy rather than hierarchy as a more meaningful category to understand the nature of complexities of archeological settlements, as well as the continuity and changes there in different temporalities. The work pleads for adopting a fruitful theoretical framework to understand periodisation and the nature of the material culture of Odisha. In a sense, this is the first work that tries to construct the past of early farming and the early historical culture of Odisha.
