Book Synopsis
Ceramics play an important role in the study of archaeological sites and cultures. Pottery is one of the most abundantly produced material by the ancient communities. Pottery helps us in understanding the state of economy, food habits, technological advancement, trade and contacts, rituals and beliefs, etc. Much of the reconstruction of the history of any archaeological site depends to a great extent on study of its ceramic residues. The data on the pottery is scattered in numerous sources, which makes it difficult to have a synoptic view of the pottery traditions of a region in a particular period. The present work is aimed at filling this gap, and presenting the data in a single source in a comprehensive manner. The book has data on pottery assignable to different cultural periods starting from Neolithic period (from 2500 bce) to Early historic period upto 300 ce, from the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in South India.
