  • A Reconstruction of Long-Term Pastoralist Ecology in the Kashmir Valley
    THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY Mountain and meadow: A reconstruction of long-term pastoralist ecology in the Kashmir Valley Michael Spate A thesis submitted in fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Department of Archaeology December 2019 Statement of Originality This is to certify that to the best of my knowledge, the content of this thesis is my own work. This thesis has not been submitted for any degree or other purposes. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources have been acknowledged. Michael Spate 12/12/2019 ii Abstract The cultural history of the Kashmir Valley in the Western Himalayas spans at least 4500 years, beginning with some of the known Neolithic Agricultural villages in the mountainous regions of the northern Indian Subcontinent. The development of agriculture in the valley, and subsequent periods of cultural expansion have been attributed to economic growth that capitalised on warm-humid climate phases in the region, often followed by periods of supposed social collapse driven by the onset of cold-arid conditions. More recently, Kashmiri archaeologists have argued that these near- Malthusian interpretations result from a methodological focus on a handful of large sites, and that the Kashmir Valley contains multiple ecological niches suitable for a wide range of economic or ecological adaptation. This study therefore seeks to build on the growing palaeoenvironmental and archaeological data that suggests a more complex picture of social and ecological change in the valley.
