About the Book
This book offers an archaeological exploration of the interaction between settlements and the dynamic alluvial environment of the Ganga in north Bengal, India, with a particular focus on the excavations at the site of Balupur. Moving beyond the common emphasis on art and architecture, the author brings a human-centered approach to the study of cultures between c. 600-1800 CE, examining the formation and evolution of settlements over time.
By focusing on the changing nature of settlements and their relationship to the environment, this work sheds light on the everyday lives of people in this region and their adaptive strategies in the face of environmental challenges. It offers fresh insights into the socio-cultural and historical dynamics of north Bengal during this period, contributing to a deeper understanding of the region's archaeological landscape.
