The Buddhist Site of Jinnan Wali Ḍheri (Taxila) Revisited

Archaeological excavations at Jinnan Wali ḌheriJinnan Wali Ḍheri in the TaxilaTaxila Valley were carried out by different archaeological missions in Pakistan between 2002 and 2018. Throughout these excavations, which were carried out at irregular intervals, different structural remains were exposed, such as those of the courtyard of the stūpa and monastery. At the same time, dozens of minor and other antiquities were discovered with significant finds such as Buddhist wall paintingsPaintings, coins of the KidāritesKidārites, and the discovery of three short inscriptions. If the excavation reports and the analysis of the objects have already been published, certain antiquities still need to be revisited and studied from another aspect in order to understand the chronology of the site which seems seems messed-up in the published report.
