After the analysis was over select bones were photographed and all the studied material was restored back to the respective cloth storage bags. Since during excavation archaeological material was stored with a context number, these context numbers were used as faunal analytical units.

  • Dating the Adoption of Rice, Millet and Tropical Pulses at Indus Civilisation
    Feeding ancient cities in South Asia: dating the adoption of rice, millet and tropical pulses in the Indus civilisation C.A. Petrie1,*, J. Bates1, T. Higham2 & R.N. Singh3 1 Division of Archaeology, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3DZ, UK 2 RLAHA, Oxford University, Dyson Perrins Building, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3QY, UK 3 Department of AIHC & Archaeology, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi 221005, India * Author for correspondence (Email: [email protected]) <OPEN ACCESS CC-BY-NC-ND> Received: 11 March 2016; Accepted: 2 June 2016; Revised: 9 June 2016 <LOCATION MAP><6.5cm colour, place to left of abstract and wrap text around> The first direct absolute dates for the exploitation of several summer crops by Indus populations are presented. These include rice, millets and three tropical pulse species at two settlements in the hinterland of the urban site of Rakhigarhi. The dates confirm the role of native summer domesticates in the rise of Indus cities. They demonstrate that, from their earliest phases, a range of crops and variable strategies, including multi-cropping were used to feed different urban centres. This has important implications for our understanding of the development of the earliest cities in South Asia, particularly the organisation of labour and provisioning throughout the year. Keywords: South Asia, Indus civilisation, rice, millet, pulses Introduction The ability to produce and control agricultural surpluses was a fundamental factor in the rise of the earliest complex societies and cities, but there was considerable variability in the crops that were exploited in different regions. The populations of South Asia’s Indus civilisation occupied a climatically and environmentally diverse region that benefitted from both winter and summer rainfall systems, with the latter coming via the Indian summer monsoon (Figure 1; Wright 2010; Petrie et al.

  • Budget 2020: Rakhigarhi to Hastinapur, Why You Should Visit These Archaeological Sites
    Budget 2020: Rakhigarhi to Hastinapur, why you should visit these archaeological sites indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/destination-of-the- February 2, 2020 Sivasagar and Dholavira (Source: Aateesh Bangia/Wikimedia Commons, benonsane/Instagram, Image designed by Rajan Sharma) Budget 2020: Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman proposed to develop five archaeological sites across India with on-site museums, as part of the Union Budget 2020-21. The places include Rakhigarhi in Haryana, Hastinapur in Uttar Pradesh, Sivasagar in Assam, Dholavira in Gujarat and Adichanallur in Tamil Nadu. With remains of ancient civilisations to relics of royal opulence, these archaeological sites are also attractive tourists destinations. And if you are a fan of historical places and monuments, these sites should be added to your bucket list. Rakhigarhi, Haryana Rakhigarhi (Source: rakhigarhi/Instagram) Located in the Hisar district of Haryana, Rakhigarhi is known to be a site of pre-Harappan Civilisation settlement, and later a part of the ancient civilisation itself, between 2600-1900 BCE. Excavated by Amarendra Nath of Archaeological Survey of India, the site revealed remnants of a planned township with mud-brick houses and proper drainage system, according to the official site of Haryana Tourism, along with terracotta jewellery, conch shells, vase and seals, things the Harappans were known for. Hastinapur, Uttar Pradesh Ashtapad Tirth Jain Mandir (Source: bhanupratapjoshi/Instagram) We know Hastinapur as the ancient capital city of Pandavas and Kauravas from the epic Mahabharata. Naturally, it is the abode of princely anecdotes and royal conquests. Excavations at Hastinapur reportedly began in 1950-52 on behalf of the Archaeological Survey of India and the items found included arrows, spearheads, shafts, tongs, hooks, axes and knives, amounting to about 135 iron objects.

  • Immigrant Identity in the Indus Civilization: a Multi-Site Isotopic Mortuary Analysis
    IMMIGRANT IDENTITY IN THE INDUS CIVILIZATION: A MULTI-SITE ISOTOPIC MORTUARY ANALYSIS By BENJAMIN THOMAS VALENTINE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2013 1 © 2013 Benjamin Thomas Valentine 2 To Shannon 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Truly, I have stood on the shoulders of my betters to reach this point in my career. I could never have completed this dissertation without the unfailing support of my family, friends, and colleagues, both at home and abroad. I am grateful, most of all, for my wife, Shannon Chillingworth. I am humbled by the sacrifices she has made for dreams not her own. I can never repay her for the gifts she has given me, nor will she ever call my debt due. Shannon—thank you. I am likewise indebted to the scholars and institutions that have facilitated my graduate research these past eight years. Foremost among them is my faculty advisor, John Krigbaum, who took a chance on me, an aspiring researcher with little anthropological training, and welcomed me into the University of Florida (UF) Bone Chemistry Lab. I have worked hard not to fail him, as he has never failed me. Under John Krigbaum’s mentorship, I have earned my chance to succeed in academe. During my time at UF, I have benefited from the efforts of many excellent faculty members, but I am especially grateful to James Davidson, Department of Anthropology and George Kamenov and Jason Curtis, Department of Geological Sciences.
