Answer: L.A. Waddell
Notes: L.A. Waddell discovered the Pataliputra capital at Bulandi Bagh in Patna in 1895. The find included Mauryan wooden palisades, confirming ancient descriptions by Megasthenes. Later excavations by J.A. Page, M. Ghosh, and D.B. Spooner provided further evidence of the Mauryan era city's layout.
