Having just (re)joined HJistarch I have been having a quick look at recent
mailings to see what I;ve been missing!

Pre-fabricated buildings: Not a lot to add beyond the fact that I am currently
involved in setting up a architectural recording project/conservation project
on a colonial hillstation in India, so I'll keep the list informed of anything
we come up with.

Global Approaches:
Very little archaeological work has been done on India- though there is a lot
of historical stuff- best introduction can be found in the excellent Oxfod
Histories of the British Empire.
- a few possibly useful refs are below:
