Site history & evidence

What is documented here

Each kind of evidence on its own row, because they do not add up.

Evidence	On record	What it shows
Site date	None recorded	The import holds no date for the site itself.
Location	Recorded to the site On the atlas	A coordinate for the place. It locates the site; it does not draw its extent.
Dated activity	None recorded	A pin is a place, not an event. What happened at Udayagiri and Khandagiri Caves, and when, is a separate claim, and this import holds none: it carries site locations, not dated activity.

What this means

Computed from coordinates, not stated by any source. Nearness is geometry, not a connection: two sites a kilometre apart may never have shared a worshipper, a tradition or a century. Where either coordinate is recorded only to a district, the distance is rounded and says “about”.
