About the Book
This book is based on the systematic and extensive fieldwork carried out in Goa, which brought to light numerous sites ranging from the Lower Paleolithic to the Early historic period. Taking into consideration the evidences collected during the present survey. the sites known earlier, their environment, the distribution pattern and sea level fluctuations, a sincere attempt has been made to reconstruct the cultural development of the region. The sites located in the adjoining regions of Karnataka and Maharashtra have also been studied. The effort has resulted in establishing a broad outline of cultural development from the prehistoric to the early historic times in Goa.

Foreword
1960s is an important period in the History of Earchaeological researches in Goa region. In 1964, the Archaeological Survey of India undertook large-scale conservation and restoration work to the magnificent monuments i.e. the churches of the early Portuguese period in old Goa. At the same time a programme of village-to-village survey of archaeological and historical remains in the region, was initiated. Later, a regular and permanent office of the Archaeological Survey of India, namely Goa Mini Circle, was established. An Archaeological Museum was reorganized on scientific lines. The Circle office since then is systematically carrying out both, conservation of all the monuments, declared protected by the Survey, and exploration of archaeological remains. There is also a Dept. of Archives, Archaeology and Museums, Government of Goa. In early 1990s at the dynamic initiative of Dr. S.R.Rao, a retired Superintending Archaeologist of the Survey, a Marine Archaeology Wing was established in the National Institute of Oceanography, Dona Paula, Goa. The Under Water Archaeology work along the Indian coasts that is being carried out by the Wing is known all over the world. Thus, by and by, an academic atmosphere for archaeological research was built up encouraging higher research and study in Archaeology.
