Résumé (en anglais)

The subject area of this paper is Anuradhapura, presently a provincial capital with a population of 60,000. Although it is presently situated in the NCP its location needs to be looked at in a wider context. This region has been populated at least since the 9th century BC. (1) Legend has it that a major Aryan settlement took place in the 6th century B.C. (2) There are adequate archaeological remains to conclude that the whole region has been populated from then onwards until the medieval period. As such the region under scrutiny will be the northern plains of Sri Lanka
