It uncovers the development of early civilizations like the Indus Valley, traces cultural and technological changes over millennia, and provides insights into historical societies, trade, and migration patterns. This field combines scientific methods with historical inquiry to understand South Asia’s rich cultural heritage and how its peoples lived, interacted, and evolved over thousands of years.
