Comments on Subject: WHILE HUNDEREDS OF MEGALITHIC BURIAL SITES WERE DOTTED ACROSS INDIA IN THIS PERIOD AND TRACES OF CIVILIZATION AND RURAL DWELLINGS CAN BE FOUND ACROSS THE SUBCONTINENT, THIS MAP SHOWS ONY MAJOR SITES OR REGIONS THAT EITHER MANUFACTURED OR SUPPLIED MATERIALS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF 'ART'. SEVERAL CITIES AND MONASTIC DWELLINGS HAVE REVEALED STRUCTURES, COINS, PAINTING ADN ARTEFACTS FOR WHAT IS CALLED THE 'EARLY-HISTORIC' PERIOD IN INDIA. THE STRUCTURES ARE MOSTLY BUDDHIST, JAIN OR HINDU, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE TRACES OF OTHERS WHICH CAN NO LONGER BE CLEARLY IDENTIFIED. THE MAP USES ONLY THE MOST COMMONLY KNOW NAMES OF DYNASTIES.
