520			_aSatavahanas who ruled Deccan for a long time during the early centuries of the Christian era brought consolidation in many spheres. Terracotta art flourished during that period and was unsurpassed. There was spectacular and unprecedented growth of the terracotta industry during that period not only due to the artistic taste of the people but also due to great demand from the maritime trade from the western world. This period is specially marked by its creative activity in adopting new techniques in manufacturing terracottas by adopting double moulds. Terracottas of the Satavahana period can easily be distinguished by a common factor of theme, form and style. 'Art of clay modelling in Deccan during the early historic period under Satavahanas' covering the states of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharastra and Karnataka was taken up by me under Post-Doctoral The fellowship offered by the Indian Council of Historical Research. Now, the title of the publication is revised as 'Terracotta Art of Satavahanas' to widen the scope of the study by covering the states of Tamilnadu and Madhya Pradesh as well, where there are traces of Satavahana Art in addition to the four states already mentioned above. Information has been collected from different museums, excavation reports and annual reports of the Archaeological Survey of India about these states, compiled and interpreted by me in a consolidated manner for the first time and published for the general benefit of the scholars.
