Ancient settlement at Mahadeoshal in Nagaon District, Assam
Excavations in 2010 at the Mahadeoshal Archaeological Site near the bank of the Brahmaputra River in Nagaon district (old name Nowgong - 110 km east of Guwahati), Assam have uncovered evidence of a ceramic tradition linking it with other sites such as Ambari and confirm the State’s profitable trade links with other South East Asian countries at that time. The finds are to be displayed at a museum being constructed at the site.
