Description:
Archibald Carlyle developed an important collection of stone objects found on prehistoric sites in and around the Central Provinces of India at a time when other 19th-century antiquarians were focusing their interests on wealthier examples of the subcontinent's historical antiquities. This volume catalogues this material for the first time, establishing their archaeological interest by providing background on Carlyle's role in the historical development of research into the Stone Age of India and the significance of his finds in the context of modern archaeology.
