DESCRIPTION:The Archaeological Survey of Indian (ASI) is one of the earlies
 t statist archaeological organizations in the world. Its prolific knowledg
 e production has had a profound impact on the legitimization of the idea o
 f India as an ancient nation. Using the excavation trench as the micro-sit
 e of focus\, Chadha’s paper will examine the specificities of “ways of kno
 wing” as archaeologists\, scientists\, bureaucrats\, and illiterate labore
 rs work to produce knowledge of the past. He will argue that the operation
 s of knowing by ASI at an excavation site is not only mediated by national
 istic imperatives but is also performed as an intervention of governmental
 ity and executed as a scientific practice.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;
