Adam Hardy is Emeritus Professor of Asian Architecture at Cardiff University. His publications include The Temple Architecture of India (2007), and Theory and Practice of Temple Architecture in Medieval India (2015). He is currently leading two research projects: 'The Nagara Tradition of Temple Architecture: Continuity, Transformation, Renewal' (Leverhulme Trust), and 'Tamil Temple Towns: Conservation and Contestation' (AHRC and ICHR).
Volume I of the proceedings is divided into three parts: Archaeology, Seals and Inscriptions and Iconography and Artistic Expression dating from circa the mid-sixth century BCE to the fifth century CE. The papers are organised as much as possible into a chronological sequence within each section. There is a notable emphasis in this volume on the archaeology and sculpture of Pakistan, in addition to papers on the history of Bangladesh, Chorasmia, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Soqotra and India.
