PRIMARY SOURCES AND ASIAN PASTS GEBUNDEN

This conference volume unites a wide range of scholars working in the fields of history 
archaeology  religion  art  and philology in an effort to explore new perspectives and methods
in the study of primary sources from premodern South and Southeast Asia. The contributions
engage with primary sources (including texts  images  material artefacts  monuments  as well as
archaeological sites and landscapes) and draw needed attention to highly adaptable  innovative
and dynamic modes of cultural production within traditional idioms. The volume works to develop
categories of historical analysis that cross disciplinary boundaries and represent a wide
variety of methodological concerns. By revisiting premodern sources  Asia Beyond Boundaries
also addresses critical issues of temporality and periodization that attend established
categories in Asian Studies  such as the Classical Age or the Gupta Period. This volume
represents the culmination of the European Research Council (ERC) Synergy project Asia Beyond
Boundaries: Religion  Region  Language and the State  a research consortium of the British
Museum  the British Library and the School of Oriental and African Studies  in partnership with
Leiden University.
