Every site, note, distance and score in Site-Drill traces back to a published source or a published standard. This page lists them. Found a mistake? Report a site or map error.

The sites (350 in 9 periods)

Each site has at least two sources, and every name and number in its hint, note and key points must appear in that site's source notes (checked automatically). Notes are original writing; they never copy a source or Wikipedia. 23 sites were also checked by hand, including every site whose identification or interpretation is debated. Positions come from Wikidata, corrected from published excavation reports or ASI and UNESCO records where those disagree (34 sites).

The map

The outline of India comes from Natural Earth (1:10m, India point of view) and was compared line by line with the Survey of India's 1:16 million political map: median difference 2 km, with all of Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Arunachal Pradesh, Lakshadweep and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands present. It shows no state borders and no historical borders.
