The excavations at Rajghat were carried out by the Banaras Hindu University under my direction in the. year 1957-58 and between the years 1960 and 1969. Initially it was intended to publish this work of several years into one volume. This could not be done as .went abroad in 1970. As many of the chapters were ready even before 1970 and were lying with the printers, we found no alternative but to publish the results of this important excavation in the form of self-contained monographs. I have, therefore, asked my colleagues Dr. T. N. Roy and Dr. Purushottam Singh to get the report published in the present form. I am happy to put on record that within three months of the publication of the first part of the Rajghat excavation report, two more parts dealing with the Pottery and Small Finds by Dr. T. N. Roy and Dr. Purushottam Singh respectively, were released and now the fourth part dealing with the Terracotta Human Figurines by Dr. Prithvi Kumar Agrawala is ready. I hope that they will expedite the publication of the remaining parts of the report with the same zeal. I also take this opportunity to thank all concerned in the production of this report.
