This article summarizes the results of five field seasons of the Maski Archaeological Research Project, an interdisciplinary project evaluating the relationships between social and environmental production throughout prehistoric and medieval periods in a 64 km2 region centred around Maski, Raichur district, Karnataka, India. We report the outcomes of intensive pedestrian survey and initial results from excavations, salvage activities and radiocarbon assessments of occupational histories. The data attest to the social and political significance of prehistoric burial practices, and medieval period settlement practices and land-use activities, highlighting how archaeological materials both belie and complement epigraphic analyses of the region.
