This region, being one of the most fertile units in the country, attracted tie early farmers in tho beginnin;. of accond millennium B.C. The presant chapter deals with sevei*al aspects of settleaent patterns and systeos in this region during the ohalcolithic period, itie data, gathered in the field, has been utilized to draw inferences about the way in which the e^xrly farmers disposed their settlersients in the Tapi valley. The chapter consists of several sections. In the ini­ tial section, there is a brief suamery of the origin and dove- lopnent of the settlement pattam studies in arch eology. ilie second section giv«s a brief sRinnaery of li:aitations in dra­ wing inferences and applying differ«»it settlenent models. 133 section three diacusses in detail the factors affecting the overall settlanent pattern In the central Tapi basin* J?he locational analysis of various cultures and their possible migration routes in the Tapi baain are discussed in section four.

Chang defined the sattlemant pattern as "the joanner in which hu^an settlejients are arranged over the lundscape in relation to the pnyBiographic, geo^jraphic environment and coifl.iunity pattern as t ’na m inner in vrhich the intiabitarits arrange taelr various structures within the coinmunity and their com .unities within the aggregate" (Ciiang 1958)* According to Bruce Trig er by a settlement ijattem is meant the manner in which people’s cultural activities and social institutions are distributed over the 1-^ndscapc. (Trigger 1963). Settlonent pattern studies not only help us to inter­ pret the distribution pattern (Trlgcer 1963) sjut also to reconstruct the social (Ch-'.ng 1958) or relifjioua (Sears 1961) aspects of anci^t cultures. Three different terms viz. settlement pattern, settlement systcHs and settlamont archaeo­ logy are in use. The settleiaent pattern is a study of the distribution of sites over a given area (Trigger 1968) whereas tlie settleaent aysteoi is the study of rules governing the physical arrangeaent of sites aci'oss a l:-ndscape (Flannery 133 19o7>* settlement archaeology inclu es tli© study of recon­ struction of cultural Ilfovrays and process of chmi;e (t ouao 1972). ;>lnce tho introduction of sottlema'nt pattom studies in archaeology by Gordon /llley in his vork entitled ** rehiatoric :>»ttl9n«it i^attems in '/ini Valltfv> ( /illey a nanber of studies have been c-irri«U out all over the world, 'Osjt C1965) stresses and ur^ es that it will bo fruitful for settlement pattern investigations if the archaeolof'ists, ciOi'io- lo^ists and geographers work together, ^aaders (1956) lays uore e.ajhasis on analysing "ttie distribution of human settle­ ments in the context of agricultural systi>ais, local specia­ lization and inter-re ,ionnl exchange, tiowever, Chanf, (1950) was the first to reconstruct the social org^'faizatiou of neolithic societies with tiie help of settlenent pattern studies whereas iiinford (1964) analysed the artifact variabi­ lity in -ouster!on ass .ablages from ?r, nee and reconstrue^tad the ."alaeolithic settlement system. aruce Irifi; er*s two classic research papers 1967 and 1963 huve ushered in a new era in settleinent pattern studios.

As most of the ancient settleaenta are multi-cultural and are under cultivation, there is every possibility of getting the ceramics of oifferent cultures jnixed up and distributed evenly all over the surface in the process of oloughing* In the central lapi basin there are rem?.lns of four different chalcolithic cultures* namely, the liavalda, the Late ilarappa, the ?lalirfa and the Jorwe, tultfiaents of the K y; tha culture are present at only two sited n.ijsaely Varsus f and Lonkhede, which is not sufficient to guess the settle­ ment p^ittem of this culture.

  • Subsistence Strategies and Burial Rituals: Social Practices in the Late Deccan Chalcolithic
    Subsistence Strategies and Burial Rituals: Social Practices in the Late Deccan Chalcolithic TERESA P. RACZEK IN THE SECOND MILLENNIUM B.C., THE RESIDENTS OF THE WESTERN DECCAN region of India practiced an agropastoral lifestyle and buried their infant children in ceramic urns below their house floors. With the coming of the first millennium B.C., the inhabitants of the site of Inamgaon altered their subsistence practices to incorporate more wild meat and fewer grains into their diet. Although daily practices in the form of food procurement changed, infant burial practices remained constant from the Early Jorwe (1400 B.c.-lOOO B.C.) to the Late Jorwe (1000 B.c.-700 B.C.) period. Examining interments together with subsistence strategies firmly situates ideational practices within the fabric of daily life. This paper will explore the relationship between change and continuity in burial and subsistence practices around 1000 B.C. at the previously excavated Cha1colithic site of Inamgaon in the western Deccan (Fig. 1). By considering the act of burial as a moment of social construction that both creates and reflects larger traditions, it is possible to understand how each individual interment affects chronological variability. That burial traditions at Inamgaon were continuously recreated in the face of a changing society suggests that meaningful and significant practices were actively upheld. Burial practices at Inamgaon were both structured and fluid enough to allow room for individual and group expression. The con­ temporaneous variability that occurs in the burial record at Inamgaon may reflect the marking of various aspects of personhood. Burial traditions and the ability and desire of the living to conforITl to them vary over time and it is important to consider the specific social context in which they occur.

GHOSH Director General of Archaeology in India DEPARTMENT OF ARCHAEOLOGY GOVERNMENT OF INDIA NEW DELHI 1959 Price Rs. 1000 or 16shillings COPYRIGHT DEPARTMENT OF ARCHAEOLOGY GOVERNMENT OF INDIA PRINTED AT THE CORONATION PRINTING WORKS, DELHI ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This sixth number of the annual Review tries to embody, like its predecessors, information on all archaeological activities in the country during the previous year. The varied sources of information are obvious in most cases: where they are not, they have, as far as possible, been suitably acknowledged. From the ready and unconditional response that I have all along been receiving to my request for material, it is obvious that it is realized at all quarters that the Review has been performing its intended function of publishing, within the least possible time, the essential archaeological news of the country. At the same time, as it incorporates news obtained from diverse sources, the assumption of responsibility by me, as the editor, for the accuracy of the news, much less of the interpretation thereof, is precluded. My sincerest thanks are due to all—officers of the Union Department of Archaeology and of the State Governments, heads of other organizations concerned with archaeology and individuals devoting themselves to archaeological pursuits— who have furnished me with material that is included in the Review and to those colleagues of mine in the Department who have assisted me in editing it and seeing it through the press.

  • Chalcolithic Cultures of India
    4/1/2020 .The discovery of the Chalcolithic culture at Jorwe in 1950 opened a new phase in the prehistory of the Deccan. Chalcolithic Cultures of India .Since then a large number of Chalcolithic habitation sites have been discovered as a result of systematic exploration not only in the Deccan but also in other parts of the country bringing to light several regional Hkkjr dh rkezik’kkf.kd laLd`fr;k¡ cultures. .Large scale excavations have been conducted at Ahar and Navadatoli, both are Chalcolithic sites. .Most of these cultures are post Harappa, a few like Kayatha are contemporaneous Harappa. .An important feature is their painted pottery, usually black-on-red. Dr. Anil Kumar .The people subsisted on farming, stock-raising, hunting and fishing. .They used copper on restricted scale as the metal was scarce. Professor .They were all rural culture.

Kayatha Culture Out of over 40 sites of Kayatha Culture, two of them namely Kayatha and Dangwada have been excavated. This Chalcolithic culture was named after the type site Kayatha, in Ujjain dist., Madhya Pradesh. The excavation was due to the joint collaboration of Deccan College, Pune and Department of Ancient Indian History, Culture and Archaeology, Vikram University, Ujjain. They lived in small huts having well-rammed floors. The main ceramics of Kayatha- Chocolate-slipped, incised, sturdy and well baked Kayatha ware.
