| Abstract: | Archaeological studies in the upper and lower part of the Ganga-Bhaghrathi-Hugli delta were taken up to understand the nature
of site formation and human adaptation in a dynamic fluvial zone. This aspect has been neglected in Indian archaeology. However
archaeological dating using typological information, has an error margin of a couple of centuries and hence, is of limited
use. We suggest that high resolution chronology using Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) and radiocarbon dating can be
quite effective in the study of archaeology and human environment relationship in the Ganga-Brahmaputra Delta (GBD). |
