Description
The present monograph is a comfite rendu on some momentous archeological discoveries made in recent years from certain parts of the district of Mursidabad, West Bengal. During archaeological reconnaissance in the Raj ha tract (western side of the Bhagirathi) of the district of .Mursidabad and excavations at Raj-bajidanga conducted by the Department of Archaeology of the University of Calcutta many hitherto unknown conspicuous finds were recovered. All these finds are now preserved in the Museum of the University's Department of Archaeology. Reports on the discovery of these finds were communicated at the monthly general meetings of the Asiatic Society during 1968-69 and published in the Society's Bulletins and Journals. Of these communications, discourses on eleven selected finds have been incorporated in the present treatise. Reports on other finds communicated to the Society's monthly meetings will be published in the next volume.
