The work takes into its ambit a detailed study of the historical archaeology of Central Assam, a milieu which has not been adequately explored. The area of Central Assam covers the plains and the hills, and the people of these two areas are mingled together to give an integrated picture of the culture. This area occupies a significant position in the entire history of Assam. The tribal people lived in the plains before the advent of the Aryans or the Sanskrit-speaking people, in the early centuries of the Christian era. After the occupation of the plains by the Aryans, some of the tribes shifted to the hilly areas. Later, the tribals had some impact of the Aryan culture on them. The archaeological remains of Central Assam testify to the existence of two distinct cultures in this area.
