Beschreibung:
Cameron Petrie is the Senior Lecturer in South Asian and Iranian archaeology at the University of Cambridge (UK). He has extensive field and research experience in India, Pakistan and Iran, and has co-directed collaborative research projects in each of these countries.
This is the third in a series of volumes that present the final reports of the exploration and excavations carried out by the Bannu Archaeological Project. This volume presents the first synthesis of the archaeology of the historic periods in the Bannu region, spanning the period when the first large scale empires expanded to the borders of South Asia up until the arrival of Islam in the subcontinent at the end of the first and beginning of the second millennium BC. The Bannu region provides specific insight into early imperialism in South Asia, as throughout this protracted period, it was able to maintain a distinctive regional identity in the face of recurring phases of imperial expansion and integration.
