| Abstract: |
The archaeology of historical India has usually been
perceived through the lens of cities and states, leaving
forest tracts to a large extent unexamined. This article
considers the historical signature in a segment of the
Bandhavgarh National Park and Tiger Reserve, Madhya
Pradesh, India, in order to understand how histories of
occupation in jungles and wilderness where no settlements presently exist can be studied. Our survey involved a combination of ground-level investigations using
GPS devices along with an analysis of satellite images
to explore whether such images can be used for locating
structures and sites. The earliest archaeological markers
in Bandhavgarh are cave shelters of the 2nd century
CE, which form the subject of this article. |
