“India's Oldest Stone Inscriptions” is the topic of an upcoming Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center presentation at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 10. The free program will be held in Port O’ Call, Cartwright Center-Gunning Addition.
Around 250 B.C., Ashoka Maurya was a dynamic ruler whose influence extended throughout most parts of current South Asia. Archaeologists have uncovered inscriptions on rocks and pillars they believe mark the boundaries of his empire.
UW-L Sociology/Archaeology Department Associate Lecturer Heather Walder will lead the presentation about a group of inscriptions in the South Indian state of Karnataka, as well as the results of an experimental project to replicate an “Ashokan Edict.” Detailed investigation of inscription-carving technologies reveals information about ancient landscapes and imperial control.
