A maritime archaeological exploration along the Narmada estuary, west coast of India
Abstract
A coastal exploration along the estuary of the River Narmada yielded the evidence of a port in Bharuch. Several early historic sites are noted along the down-stream of the River Narmada. Interestingly, there is a temple dedicated to Shikotara Mata near Dahej where navigators and fishermen worship. To the south of Narmada a protohistoric site, Bhagatra (also called Bhagatrav), situated on a small creek known as Kim, was investigated in detail. The paper discusses the findings of the maritime archaeological investigations conducted (2013) along the lower Narmada region
