Book Description
Archaeology (Bangladesh) Existence of any prehistoric phase in the deltaic land of Bangladesh was not suspected by archaeologists for a long time, although some stray finds of stone tools from different areas were known. It is only very recently that widely spread traces of a fossil-wood tool making tradition have been detected. Early archaeological activities in Bangladesh areas were chiefly concerned with 'early historic' and 'early medieval' period remains. Of the Hindu-Buddhist archaeological sites in Bangladesh, the most important are PAHARPUR (Pahadpur) in Naogaon, MAHASTHAN (Mahasthan) in Bogra, and MAINAMATI (Mainamati) in Comilla. Each is unique in its own way.

Book Description
Conservation is a core value for most archaeological societies. It is highlighted in their codes of ethics, statements of mission, and governance. In recognition of this, the World Archaeological Congress, with the Getty Conservation Institute and a consortium of other conservation organizations, brought together scholars working throughout the globe to discuss vital issues that affect archaeological heritage today. This volume presents the proceedings of the Conservation Theme at the Congress, held in Washington, D.C., June 22–26, 2003. Among the topics discussed are: Innovative Approaches to Policy and Management of Archaeological Sites; Finding Common Ground: The Role of Stakeholders in Decision Making; Archaeology and Tourism: A Viable Partnership?; Preserving the Cultural Heritage of Iraq and Afghanistan; Archaeology and Conservation in China Today; and Managing Archaeological Sites and Rock Art Sites in Southern Africa. These proceedings should do much to promote and strengthen the relationship between the disciplines of conservation and archaeology.

Book Description
Although the modern nation state of Bangladesh has long been known to possess rich archaeological sources--especially of the historical periods--there is a dearth of publications analyzing their scope and detailed pattern. The present volume, based on the researches of Bangladeshi and other scholars, as well as on the author's own fieldwork and a first-hand study of the material, offers a coherent and connected account of the available archaeological knowledge of that country. This book contains, among other things, a detailed aboriginal study of the prehistoric and early historic situation in Bangladesh, and points out the wealth and diversity of explored and excavated sites of the later periods.

Book Description
Terracotta, often mistaken as clay tiles, is actually baked earth (pora maati). There are specific themes and subjects based on which terracotta art is produced. A variety of items is made of terracotta - plaques, wall tiles, lamps, pitchers, flower vase, pottery, coin bank, candle-stands, dolls, and more. The designs of these burnt clay products reflect folk tales, picture of everyday life, artistic symbols denoting peace, love and understanding. In Bangladesh, some of the most contemporary and prominent pieces of terracotta art are dominant on plaques and murals portraying our Liberation War-or rural Bangladesh depicting many birds, fish and animals and agricultural activities. Members of the potters' community, known in Bangla as kumars (formally known as kumbhokars) who usually bear the title Pal, are generally found in large settlements in mrit pollis (potters' villages) across the country. Terracotta artists say, although this art is one of the oldest in the sub-continent and was spread out across the whole of this country, is practised in only a few prominent localities today - Dhamrai, Shimulia, Kagojipara, Kakran in Savar; Baufol in Barisal; Shariatpur; Mirzapore in Tangail; Rayer Bazar in Dhaka (almost extinct) and a few other remaining places in the country where pottery villages exist. This art was practised in Bengal from the earliest through early medieval to medieval times and even persisted in Hindu monuments till the mid-nineteenth century. It was found in the earliest civilisations like Harappa and Mohenjodaro. The Vishnupur (17th century) temple of (West Bengal) and Kantaji's temple (18th century) of Dinajpur are the finest examples of this form in this region. Ancient terracotta murals are found in their finest forms in Paharpur, Mahasthangarh and Maynamati dating back from the 6th century to as far back as 2000 A.D. Some plaques depicting ladies with exotic hairdo found in Mahasthangarh throw enough light on the affluence and elegance of the people inhabiting the region. Most recent specimen of the art can be found in Pabna, Jessore, Faridpur, Rajshahi, Barisal and some other places in Bangladesh. The clay which is used are derived from Barisal and Savar called Doash and Etel maati referred to as primary and secondary clay, amalgamated in a mixture, often called common clay. These clays can withstand high temperature when inside the furnace and make the best quality of products. Other potters use clay from different parts of the country. Terracotta artisans say that a type of white clay is collected from Netrokona, reddish clay from Baufol Barisal and pinkish clay which comes from Tangail and these different soils produce different types of products and add their own texture and colour to the items after baking. The whole process can be explained like this: these different types of clay used for making terracotta items are collected from different regional locations. The assorted materials are mixed proportionately and dried under the hot sun so as to allow any sort of moisture that may be present in it to evaporate. Then, the mixture of this wet clay is filtered through a fine sieve to remove pebbles, dirt or even rice grains.

Book Description
Despite south east Asia being heir to a rich architectural heritage of various religious persuasion spreading over two thousand years ironically to day we are left with very little of our glorious legacy. Besides always being for a field from the epicenter of powers in the subcontinent other factors also combined to obliterate those derelict monuments, such as recurrent inundation, frequent shifting of the myriads of rivers and streams, treasure-hunting, modern development, etc.The survival of historic areas is of capital importance to every conscious citizen seeking to preserve their Cultural identity. This is an area where all the renowned archaeologist of both national and International archaeologists should take proper care at the moment. Otherwise the nation may loose important Architectural Heritage of their own countries.A nation is known by the standard of respect and care it takes to protect and maintain its Cultural wealth of which it is an heir.

They propose new models and perspectives to ground Bangladesh’s developments, identify persistent and emerging challenges and suggest ways forward.
