The author played a key role in modernising the approach to archaeology on that continent, introducing a programme of cataloguing and conservation of ancient monuments and artefacts. This annual report provided evidence of age of Indian civilisation especially Indus Valley Civilization and Mauryan age (Ashoka's Age). He worked and wrote extensively in the areas of archaeology, Indian religion, Indian history, as well as languages and linguistics. In India, he worked for the British Archaeological Survey. As Superintendent, Frontier Circle, he excavated Buddhist sites at Sahri-Bahlol in 1906 and in Takht-i-Bahi in 1907. He was the discoverer of the Kanishka reliquary at Shaji-ki-Dheri. Later from 1910, as Superintendent, Eastern Circle, he excavated archaeological sites in Basrah (Vaisali), Patna (where he excavated the archaeological site of Kumhrar and small portions of Bulandi Bagh), and Nalanda. These reports are proved to be handy for the researchers and students.
