This second volume of the Corpus Topographicum Indiae Antiquae is the
result of an analysis of the available archaeological sources, the
identification of problematic place names, the location of c. 10300
archaeological sites, and their indication on a map. The work
constitutes, therefore, a general synthesis of the actual knowledge in
the field of Indian archaeology and can serve as a basis for further
research. The atlas, and the indices, which mention old and modern
variant forms of the place names, form an indispensable research and
work tool for various branches of Asiatic studies, in particular those
dealing with the Indian subcontinent and South Asia: archaeology,
numismatics, art history, historical geography, toponomy, philology.
