Abstract

Stäng
- This article presents some results that derive from a systematic field documentation and typological and spatial analysis of non-portable engravings of game boards at the site of the pre-modern city of Vijayanagara in Karnataka, southern India. Hundreds of game boards of different shapes and constitution have been identified at the site. The article centres on the frequency and internal variation of boards in relation to type. It further explores spatial distribution of boards in relation to features of the former urban and military landscape. The results show that significant consistencies appear in regard of board layout as well as locational pattern.
