This edited volume contains ten original research papers and essays on various aspects of South Asian art, culture, and archaeology. The authors address the broad issues of trans-disciplinarity and cultural complexity attested with the art and archaeological practices of South Asia. It opens with a serious discussion on fundamental issues of archaeology and suggests eff ective ways that would reframe the archaeological methods of the future. The focus shift from the monument-centric approach to a collaborative trans-disciplinary endeavour eventually reconceptualises archaeology as integrated into other disciplines. The voluminous rise in archaeological data generated through more so phisticated scientifi c equipment testifies the close collaboration of archaeology with science. The study of cultural sequence, urbanisation pattern, and contextual analysis of material objects with nearby sites emerging more as a recent trend projects a novel research trajectory of moving away from the conventional norms of disciplinary studies and thereby adopting inter-disciplinary perspective in art-cultural studies. This book includes some preliminary reports of recent explorations and excavations conducted in Vangchhia (Mizoram) and Ganaur (Haryana). The report highlights the huge distribution of menhirs, petroglyphs,potteries, burial sites, and sculptural fragments all around Mizoram, thereby outlying the distinguish presence of Vangchhia culture. The volume also builds new perspectives to study the stylistic patterns, artistic developments, architectural expansion, and cultural complexity through the site-specifi c study. These studies focus on site-specifi c empirical research and demonstrate trans-disciplinarity and interdisciplinary orientation of research in ancient South Asian studies
