From the archaeological point of view, Vidarbha, which lies in the extreme eastern part of Maharashtra, is distinct and rich, as there are enough evidences of proto-historic human settlements dating back to the chalcolithic period, around the first millennium I3CE. Keeping this in view, the present volume has attempted to showcase an archaeo-historical profile of the region, ranging from the 6th century to the 5th-6th century. The book endeavors to understand the Early Iron Age - Early Historic developments that took place in the region of Vidarbha. The aim of this book is to illuminate the historical archaeology of the region by studying the available archaeological, numismatic, epigraphic and literary data. An earnest effort has been made to provide an updated profile in the light of recent excavations and related works conducted thereafter.
