  • Mobility and Subsistence Strategies: a Case Study of Inamgaon) a Chalcolithic Site in Western India
    Mobility and Subsistence Strategies: A Case Study of Inamgaon) A Chalcolithic Site in Western India SHEENA PANJA ARCHAEOLOGY TODAY deals with being critical of our assumptions; being re­ flexive, relational, and contextual. The conclusions are always flexible and open to change as new relations emerge. It is impossible to approach the data without prejudice and without some general theory, but the aim is to evaluate such gen­ erality in relation to the contextual data. Our own understanding about human behavior acts as a generalization with which to understand the past. Nevertheless, we can agree that the past is objectively organized in contexts that are different from our own. The internal archaeological evidence then forces us to consider whether the past subject we are dealing with is familiar to us or makes us rethink deep-seated presuppositions about the nature of human behavior. The objective component of archaeological data means that the archaeologist can be confronted with a past that is different from the present. It is this guarded objectivity of the material "other" that provides the basis of critique. It is thus a hermeneutical pro­ cedure that involves a dialectical interplay between our own understandings and the forms of life we are seeking to understand. It is an ongoing dialogue between the past and the present in which the outcome resides wholly in neither side but is a product of both (Hodder 1991; Hodder et al. 1995; Wylie 1989). It is with these ideas in mind that this article is aimed to analyze critically certain categories archaeologists use to understand human behavior in a dialectical effort to understand the past.

  • 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.

  • Industrial Pollution Caused Bioaccumulation of Heavy Metal Cadmium in Fresh Water Fishes of Pauna River, Maharashtra
    © 2021 JETIR March 2021, Volume 8, Issue 3 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION CAUSED BIOACCUMULATION OF HEAVY METAL CADMIUM IN FRESH WATER FISHES OF PAUNA RIVER, MAHARASHTRA I. M. Patil1, M. A. Patil1 Dada Patil Mahavidyalaya, Karjat, Dist-Ahmednagar-414402, MH, India. ABSTRACT: Effects of heavy metals on fish are multidirectional and manifested by numerous changes in the physiological and chemical processes of their body systems. 11 Nalas (drains) carrying the industrial and domestic waste in Pauna River from Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation area. Metal Plating industries are the main source of cadmium pollution in river. Cadmium metal content were analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (Perkin Elmer model No. 3030 USA) and values are expressed in ppm from water sample and various organs of two fresh water fish species Ompok bimaculatus and Puntius sarana sarana collected from four sampling sites on Pauna river. The maximum Cd content found in kidney (1.5ppm) was considerably higher than gill (0.65ppm), muscle and liver (0.60ppm) and ovary (0.5ppm). The Cd contents in the organs was in the order of kidney > gill > liver > muscle > ovary. The present investigation is useful to find out the indicators of cadmium pollution in river water habitat. KEY WORDS : Cadmium, Bioaccumulation, Fish organs 1. INTRODUCTION As a result of industrial pollution, many important habitats of fishes are lost. River Saraswati in West Bengal, Khan river at Indore, Ganga river at Kanpur, River Satluj in Punjab, Yamuna river in Delhi, Bhadra river in Karnataka, Panchganga at Ichalkaranji, Tapi river in Gujrat, river Krishna and Koyana in Maharashtra, Kuttiadi in Kerala are few examples (Trivedy, 2000).

Yet there are no existing models to quantify the population movements, infrastructure needs, and social characteristics of this rapidly emerging condition. The lack of diagnosis for the Peri-Urban State leads to uneven distribution of water resources, pollution of surface and groundwater, and unclear administrative lines.

    Mukt Shabd Journal Issn No : 2347-3150 GIS AND RS BASED PHYSIOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF SOUTH AHMEDNAGAR DISTRICT Dr. Santosh J. Lagad Department of Geography, Dada Patil Mahavidyalaya, Karjat. Dist.-Ahmednagar, 414402 Maharashtra (India). Email – [email protected] ABSTRACT Geographical Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) Techniques provides reliable and accurate information of the regions. These techniques are found relevant and rationalize information of the morphology, relief, elevation, slop, drainage patterns etc. features of the region. South Ahmednagar District is situated on decan trap and it is drought prone district. This district has immense variety in physical aspects. Especially south part of district has undulating topography and this types of topography directly and indirectly affects physical and cultural environment of the study area. The aim of present paper is to acknowledge the physiographic of South Ahmednagar District through GIS and RS techniques. Key Words: Drought, GIS, Morphology, RS, Topography INTRODUCTION Physiographic of any region plays important role for the development of a region. Physical aspects are the mirror of socio-economic development of the region. All these abiotic aspect like as morphology, relief, slope, drainage, soil etc. together are the geo-wealth of region ( Kale V.S. 2015).Variation of these aspects are directly affects socio-economic condition of the region. The socio-economic condition and its interaction within itself play an important role. That is why it becomes necessary to study how these factors exert their influence. Physical factors do play a vital role in the economic development of the region. The natural resources like relief, drainage, soil, water, forest and climate contribute to the economic development of the region.

  • Unit 3 Harappan Civilisation and Other Chalcolithic Cultures
    Introductory UNIT 3 HARAPPAN CIVILISATION AND OTHER CHALCOLITHIC CULTURES Structure 3.0 Introduction 3.1 The Background 3.2 The Harappan Culture 3.3 Urbanism 3.4 State Structure 3.5 Social Structure 3.6 End of the Harappan Civilization 3.7 Other Chalcolithic Cultures 3.8 Summary 3.9 Glossary 3.10 Exercises 3.11 Suggested Readings 3.0 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this Unit is to investigate more complex social structures than those covered in the previous Unit. This complexity arises due to the emergence of the state in the 3rd millennium BC. This early state is an inchoate one, incorporating many elements of tribal societies. This Bronze Age state is also quite different from the states of later periods, in no small measure due to the lack of commoditisation and coined money in this period. That this period also witnessed the first experiments in urbanism in the subcontinent adds to its complexity. These developments were basically confined to the North-western parts of the subcontinent and one must be aware that other socio-political structures, like band, tribal or chiefship level societies, may have existed contemporaneously in this and other areas. So far, we have seen incipient stages of social development, encompassing the band and tribal levels. In this Unit, we will discuss the other two stages of development, namely chiefdom (or chiefship) and state. Structurally, the chiefdom resembles the tribal level with the beginnings of social stratification, a political office and redistributive economy. On the other hand, there is a marked difference between tribal or chiefdom and state societies.
