an objective to understand the settlement pattern of
ancient human habitation in the region. The scenario
of archaeological findings of district Nalanda has
been rapidly changed in the last decade 2000-
2010. During this time period various sites with
archaeological potentiality like Rajgir (1999-2000),
Chandimau (2000-2001), Juafardih (2006-2007),
Begampur (2007-2008), Daman-Khanda (2007-
2008) and Ghorakatora (2007-2009) have been
subjected to excavations by the Archaeological Survey
of India. On the basis of the outcome of these
excavations the antiquity of human settlements in
this Nalanda district has been traced back to pre-
Chalcolithic times.
This paper will highlight the results of the recent
explorations undertaken in Nalanda district in last
five successive years, which have brought to light
two dozen archaeological sites
