Piyadasi

A geospatial dataset of all known Aśokan inscription sites.

About this dataset

This repo contains the geographic coordinates for all known Aśokan inscription sites, including inscription type.

There are 56 sites in all. Some, like Laghman I and II, are ambiguous.

Some sites appear in multiple categories: e.g., Eṛṛaguḍi appears in both Minor Rock Edict and Rock Edict categories.

In all of this, I'm following Harry Falk in his Aśokan sites and artefacts: A source-book with bibliography. Mainz: Von Zabern, 2006, supplemented by Falk, Harry. “Remarks on the Minor Rock Edict of Asoka at Ratanpurwa.” Jnana-Pravaha Research Journal 16 (2013): 29–48.
