- Summary
- "This volume breaks new ground by reconceptualising landscape to understand early medieval history of South Asia. It examines the archaeology of space and the socio-cultural construction of landscape, as manifest in society, religious architecture and monuments -- from the village to the shrine -- and as shaped through trade, economic transactions and material objects such as coins and related artefacts."--Back cover.
