SURYADEV Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Is ther much by way of an academic department studying Sikh history using archaeology? Most sources that we have seem to be based on oral tradition, scriptures and written chronicles but strangely there doesn't seem to be any study of say archeo. digs of battlefields or artefacts etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amardeep Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Maybe you should try and do that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaheediyan Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Or history is very new. Nearly all is verified by independant sources (non-Sikh historians/authorities) of that time. Plus the location of most important events are commemorated with a Guru Ghar built on that site (with memorobilia). So I don't really see the need for archaeological digs.... many artifacts are held by private families to this day - that outside one can get a metal detector and search for rusted weapons at the battlefields of Anandpur Sahib etc if they really want to... :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
