{"title":"EARTHEN ART - THE CERAMIC HERITAGE OF NEOLITHIC KASHMIR","authors":"Abdul Adil Paray, Manoj Kumar","doi":"10.29121/shodhkosh.v5.i2.2024.951","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.29121/shodhkosh.v5.i2.2024.951","url":null,"abstract":"Neolithic art marks a turning point in the evolution of human culture, from roving hunter-gatherer cultures to permanent agricultural settlements. This change aided in the development of new technology, social structures, and most significantly, the advancement of art and craftsmanship. Because of its practical and ceremonial applications, pottery-making emerged as a prominent craft. This essay investigates the evolution of art throughout the Neolithic era, concentrating on the techniques, styles, and cultural significance of pottery manufacture. The art of the ceramic heritage of Neolithic Kashmir represents a significant aspect of the Kashmir's early human history, showcasing the development of pottery and earthen art from the Neolithic period. This heritage is not just a testament to the artistic skills of ancient peoples but also provides insights into their daily lives, societal structures, and interactions with the environment. Neolithic sites in Kashmir have yielded a wealth of pottery pieces, characterized by their fine finishes, intricate designs, and functional forms. These artefacts indicate a high level of craftsmanship and an understanding of ceramic technologies that were advanced for their time. The pottery often features geometric patterns, animal figures, and other motifs that may have held cultural or symbolic significance. The earthenware from Neolithic Kashmir is typically made from locally sourced clay, shaped by hand or with simple tools, and then fired in kilns or open fires to achieve durability. The variety of forms—from storage jars and cooking pots to bowls and plates - suggests a diversified use in daily activities such as food preparation, storage, and consumption. These ancient ceramics also provide evidence of trade and cultural exchange. Variations in styles and techniques between different sites within the region, and similarities with pottery found in other parts of South Asia, suggest that Neolithic communities in Kashmir were not isolated but part of a broader network of interaction. The study of Neolithic Kashmir's ceramic heritage is crucial for archaeologists and art historians as it helps reconstruct the lifestyles, technological advancements, and aesthetic sensibilities of early societies in the region. Additionally, it underscores the importance of preserving such art and skill at the archaeological sites, which face threats from environmental factors, urban development, and illicit trafficking.","PeriodicalId":425253,"journal":{"name":"ShodhKosh: Journal of Visual and Performing Arts","volume":" 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141831049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result of this expansion, the production of waste in the systems is also increasing. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), roughly 5% of all landfill space is textile waste, including denim. One of the least ecological industries in the world is the denim industry. This calls for more intensive interventions in the design of sustainable development, as it calls into question the key criteria of sustainability. This topic has been covered by various models of industrial sustainability, although these models focus on solving global problems, assuming small improvements and growth. Consequently, a sustainable business model approach is necessary to drastically rethink how firms should operate to support system-level sustainability. This paper will provide comprehensive background information on the denim business and its operations before offering some notable case studies of well-known companies that use environmentally friendly practices. The result of this document will be a comprehensive analysis and building of a sustainable business model for the denim sector.","PeriodicalId":425253,"journal":{"name":"ShodhKosh: Journal of Visual and Performing Arts","volume":" 36","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141829664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
