Archaeological sites hold important clues to complex climate-human relationships of the past. Human settlements in peripheral zone Indus culture (Gujarat, western India) are considerable importance assessment past monsoon-human-subsistence-culture and their survival thresholds against climatic stress exerted by abrupt changes. During mature phase Harappan between ~4,600–3,900yrsBP, ~4,100±100yrsBP time slice is widely recognized as one major, arid-events imprinted innumerous well-dated...
We present the first systematic evaluation of relationship between archaeological and palaeoclimatic record from north-western India during past millennium, urban site Chandravati. The rarity Medieval sites, excavations multi-disciplinary work in subcontinent obscure impact two distinct climate anomalies − ‘Medieval Warm Period’ (‘MWP’, 740 1150 CE), followed by ‘Little Ice Age’ (‘LIA’, 1350 1850 CE). finds indicate presence winter summer crops, suggesting region was likely warm mild humid...
ABSTRACT Here we present direct dates of food grains and insights into agricultural strategies adopted by Harappans from a newly excavated Indus site 4MSR (Binjor) in northwestern India. The revealed Early Mature Harappan phases delimited Transitional phase based on ceramics archaeological artifacts. macro-botanical remains that the was occupied an society during (~2900−2600 BCE), whereas diversification economy including more craft specialization, along with advancement witnessed...
Abstract A 47 cm long sediment core collected from an inland lake of the Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica has been examined to reconstruct palaeolacustrine environmental changes. The shows dates at two intervals 18-19 and 28-29 as 5050±98 yrs BP 5560±96 BP, respectively. exhibits a good amount diatom population throughout length. Prior high abundance (>10×107 g-1) along with sufficient salt crystal, which indicates connection this marine environment. From total number diatoms decreased...
Abstract For the first time in Indian subcontinent, a series of royal burials with chariots have been recovered from Chalcolithic period at archaeological site Sinauli (29°8′28″N; 77°13′1″E), Baghpat district, western Uttar Pradesh, India. Eight were excavated site; among them burial copper decorated legged coffin (lid anthropomorphic figures) and headgear has also recovered. Among these remarkable discoveries, three full-sized made wood copper, sword wooden hilt, this unique historical...
The relationship between historical climate change and past agricultural production contributes to a better understanding of the impacts projected by providing empirical data for resilient human responses. This study explores periods dynastic transitions crop in semi-arid northwest India spanning several global events, generally weakening summer monsoon precipitation through Late Holocene, at urban site Vadnagar. Artefacts from present an unbroken sequence seven successive cultures first...
This article reviews the current state of botanical and archaeological evidences that bears origin, distribution, genetic diversity, cultivation Carthamus sp. in Indian subcontinent other parts world. review provides an important compendium for related species different geographical locations world through ages as well modern era. The records so far indicate was established northwestern India during chalcolithic culture around 3rd–2nd millennium BCE then distributed to regions. However,...
Hunger and malnutrition are the outcomes of food insecurity or inability to access adequate nutrition. An attempt had been made gauze undernourishment among marginalized children in India as a result insecurity. The study relied upon various issues National Family Heath Survey (NFHS) for data. Official estimates poverty were obtained from Economic Survey, Government India. United Nations Food Agricultural Organization (UNFAO) publications provided data base hunger statistics. found that...
The practice of female feticide, reflected through lower sex ratio is a peculiar feature Northern India (943) specifically Punjab (893).
