This second volume of the "Corpus Topographicum Indiae Antiquae" is the result of an analysis of the available archaeological sources, the identification of problematic place names, the location of c. 10300 archaeological sites, and their indication on a map. The work constitutes, therefore, a general synthesis of the actual knowledge in the field of Indian archaeology and can serve as a basis for further research. The atlas, and the indices, which mention old and modern variant forms of the place names, form an indispensable research and work tool for various branches of Asiatic studies, in particular those dealing with the Indian subcontinent and South Asia: archaeology, numismatics, art history, historical geography, toponomy, philology.
