Walking with Ancestors is a vivid exploration of the living past through the lens of ethnoarchaeology—a discipline where archaeology meets anthropology to decode ancient life via present-day traditions. Written by Dr. Alok Sharma and Dr. Sanjay Kumar Manjul, this groundbreaking work journeys through the daily rhythms of potters, pastoralists, and craft specialists, revealing how their practices illuminate the buried stories of our ancestors. From the deserts of Rajasthan to nomadic camps and traditional village compounds, the book blends evocative storytelling with rigorous field research, showing how hearths, tools, homes, and rituals echo across centuries. Whether you are a scholar, student, or curious reader, this book invites you to see everyday life as archaeology in motion and to understand how studying the present can unravel the deepest mysteries of human history. Engaging, thought-provoking, and empathetically written, it is a powerful tribute to cultural continuity and human resilience.
