Overview of Artefacts of History: Archaeology, Historiography and Indian Pasts Book
This book encourages us to critically regard the ways in which ideologies of cultural heritage and civilisational legacies are transformed into tangible and visible things through archaeological scholarship. Through little-known histories of the practices, governance and scholarship of the archaeology of India, this book re-examines the manner in which the past is recalled and historicized. It guides us to think afresh of the histories of antiquarianism in South Asia, explore the impetus of collecting and curatorial practices within the scholarship of pre-colonial India and investigate the diverse linkages within the histories of Indian archaeology. It encourages a focus upon issues of historiography, methodology and notions of evidence and looks in to the responsibilities and changing needs of the academic scholarship of archaeology.Table of Contents:List of IllustrationsAcknowledgementsHistories, Historiography, Archaeology: An IntroductionAntiquarianism and South Asia: Questioning Histories of OriginsNineveh in Bombay: The Curation of Foreign Antiquities and Histories of IndiaThe Connected Histories of Philology and ArchaeologyFashioning the Unknown: Gordon Childe's Imprints upon the Indus CivilisationCivilisation, Heritage and the Archaeological ScholarshipA Vision for Archaeology: Partition, Nationalism and the 'Indian' PastsBibliographyIndex
