Abstract

Recent archaeological investigations conducted in the tributaries of the Middle Mahanadi Valley region of Odisha have brought to light evidence for large-scale bead manufacturing workshop sites, i.e. Badmal Asurgarh and Bhutiapali belonging to the Early Historic period. Most interestingly, while the Badmal site is a fortified settlement, the latter site is an extensive open-air bead workshop site. Significantly, both the sites brought to light evidence for gemstone bead manufacturing activities during the Early Historic period. Preliminary studies and limited excavations conducted at both the sites appear to suggest their significant role in the Early Historic trade and exchange network in the Middle Mahanadi Valley riparian system and probably beyond. The present paper outlines the results of our preliminary archaeological investigation conducted at both the nature of sites.
印度奥迪沙Mahanadi山谷中部Badmal Asurgarh和Bhutiapali的早期历史宝石珠作坊
最近在奥里萨邦中部马哈纳迪河谷地区的支流进行的考古调查,发现了早期历史时期的大规模制珠车间遗址,即Badmal Asurgarh和Bhutiapali。最有趣的是,巴德马尔遗址是一个设防的定居点,而后者是一个大型的露天墓室。值得注意的是,这两个遗址都为早期历史时期的宝石珠制造活动提供了证据。在这两个遗址进行的初步研究和有限的挖掘似乎表明,它们在早期历史上的贸易和交换网络中扮演着重要的角色,在中马哈纳迪河谷河岸系统,甚至可能更远。本文概述了我们在这两个地点进行的初步考古调查的结果。
