Early Orissa: Urbanization in Tel Valley

Baba Mishra (Author)

Synopsis

Ancient human action is not only striking on the basins of the Indus Saraswati and Ganga-Jamuna but also on the Valley of the Tel of southwestern hinterland of Orissa, which the investigator has endeavored to unveil.

Urbanization is the finest expression of Civilization and Culture. The book dealing on the process of development of town and city and their eventual disappearance along the banks of the river Tel and its tributaries is a ‘welcome addition’ to urban study in general and Orissa in particular. As a work of considerable breadth, it encompasses theoretical aspect, physical setting, prelude, urban centre, material culture and decline. The author evaluates each one of them with an empirical insight. Eleven urban centres and their allied culture highlighted in the book speak volume on the cognitive mind of the early historic denizens who build and sustained it for many centuries. With sufficient illustrations and appendixes, the author has attempted a holistic approach to the subject by converging historical and archaeological data as per as possible. Each chapter of the book is complete in it and includes an excellent bibliography. The book is a must for interested reader and researchers.
