From the Foreword by Prof. Hermann Kulke, Chair of Asian History, University of Kiel: "The present volume is a pioneering move in the direction of a co-operative effort to understand the archaeology of an important historical region. It provides a most helpful 'state of the arts' report in respect to various archaeological phases as well as micro-level studies focusing on individual archaeological sites. Moreover it relates archaeology with historical problems, such as trade, trade routes, maritime cultural heritage and patronage in early historic Orissa. The book "Archaeology of Orissa" will therefore be most welcomed by the scholarly world. It has to be taken as an encouraging beginning, hopefully to be followed by similar efforts to cover more areas as well as new dimensions in Orissa archaeology."

  • A thousand thanks for promptly sending the Pali English Dictionary which I had needed urgently. The securely packed parcel arrived safely here in the South of France all the way from distant India. I am happy that this large volume is still in mint condition. 

    I know of no other Indian publisher whose books can equal the superb quality of Vedams books. Similarly, no other Indian distributor of books can excel Vedams as regards the quickness of service, the perfect packing of books and their safe delivery at overseas destinations.

  • I wanted to thank you for the lovely book and to assure you that we are in the process of cutting a check for your payment.  Thank you so much for shipping the book to us before receiving payment.  I saved the cloth packaging – I’ve never received a package that was wrapped with such care!  I have shown it to many of my co-workers. 

    Thank you again for fulfilling my request and you should receive payment within a few more weeks.  Please let me know if you have any questions.
