It guides us to think afresh of the histories of antiquarianism in South Asia, explore the impetus of collecting and curatorial practices within the scholarship of pre-colonial India, and investigate the diverse historical linkages within the histories of Indian archaeology. It encourages a focus upon issues of historiography, methodology and notions of evidence for responding to the responsibilities and changing needs of the academic scholarship of archaeology"--Provided by publisher.
