The Archaeology of Seafaring in Ancient South Asia (Cambridge World Archaeology) Book

In this new archaeological study, Himanshu Prabha Ray looks at the maritime orientation of communities of the Indian subcontinent prior to European expansion. She uses archaeological data to reveal the connections between the early history of peninsular South Asia and its Asian and Mediterranean partners in the Indian Ocean region. The book differs from traditional works on the subject, discussing maritime history in its broader sense of seafaring activity, religious travel and political economy in this ancient period, rather than focussing specifically on maritime trade and shipping.Read More
