This report presents the results of a short programme of fieldwork targeted towards the investigation of the archaeological and geographical setting of the Chamak copperplate charter. This inscription, unearthed in the modern village of Chamak in 1868, records the grant of land to a group of Brahmins living in the village of ‘Charmaka’. These have long been assumed to be the same place, but the archaeological contexts of the find spot of the charter had never been explored. Preliminary surveys in and around Chamak have revealed a considerable amount of archaeological material, which is presented here.

马哈拉施特拉邦Amaravati区Chamak及其周边地区的考古调查报告

本报告介绍了针对查马克铜板租船章程的考古和地理环境的短期田野调查结果。该铭文于1868年在现代化的查马克（Chamak）村庄出土，记录了向居住在“恰姆卡卡（Charmaka）”村庄的一批婆罗门人授予土地的记录。长期以来，人们一直认为这些地方是同一地方，但从未探索过宪章发现地的考古背景。恰马克（Chamak）及其周边地区的初步调查显示，此处介绍了大量考古材料。
