It attempts to establish a relation between archaeological data available in the form of rock art supplemented by written accounts and local traditions wherever possible. Based on field works, personal interactions with local inhabitants, especially on important events like, marriage, festivals, rituals etc., and archeological scrutiny of rock art available in the Oraons’ previous habitation, i.e., the Kaimur Region in current Indian state of Bihar, the paper attempts to expose the historical value and cultural parallelism of Oraons’ folk narratives and rock art. The paper strongly believes that both these genres conspicuously display the cultural history of a marginalized tribe that has undergone several historical and cultural ordeals. Besides this, the paper also offers, for the first time, an English translation of Oraons’ oral folklore, adhering to the interdisciplinary approach of this paper. However, most significantly, the paper in its attempt to trace the continuity of rock art in this Kaimur Region also becomes an addition to the domain of ethno-rock art studies.","PeriodicalId":53825,"journal":{"name":"Ancient Asia-Journal of the Society of South Asian Archaeology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42836173","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}

Kale","doi":"10.5334/aa.187","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5334/aa.187","url":null,"abstract":"In 1969 an early Jaina inscription was discovered from Pale cave, Taluka Mawal, District Pune, Maharashtra, by H.D. Sankalia and Shobhana Gokhale, Pune (1971: 67–69). It was an important discovery of an early Jaina inscription in western India. While studying the Pale inscription, both the authors had cited that “There must be many more such inscriptions, which need to be discovered.” Recently an inscription is noticed in one of the small rock-cut excavations group in fort Lohogad, Lohagadwadi by a group of trekking and exploration enthusiasts. While observing this inscription, it proposes some early characteristics of Brāhmī script. It is significant to mention that the Lohagadwadi inscription starts with ‘Namo arahaṁtānaṁ’ and the donor’s name Idarakhita. Interestingly, the inscription shows close affinity to the Pale cave inscription and proposes to be an important early inscription of Jainism in Maharashtra by the same donor mentioned in the Pale inscription. Probably, a small cave complex of Lohagadwadi, as primarily described in this article, dates back to the early rock-cut activity of Jainism in Maharashtra.","PeriodicalId":53825,"journal":{"name":"Ancient Asia-Journal of the Society of South Asian Archaeology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44613082","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}

Many theories were proposed to explain the phenomenon based on meagre physical evidences available. Interpretations about subsistence strategies of hominins and their descendents had to be derived from scanty biological remains which mostly consisted of random presence of teeth and fragments of cranial and post-cranial skeleton. Due to better preservation and good resistance to diagenesis, owing to tough enamel covering, teeth have been exploited the most in archaeological studies. Tooth wear analysis is a powerful tool to understand the diet and life processes of ancient people. This paper reviews technical and interpretative development in the use of tooth wear analysis as powerful means to assess changes in masticatory and non-masticatory use of teeth in the process of human evolution. Apart from determination of type and form of diet consumed, tooth wear analysis has been used to estimate masticatory load and its relation to cranio-facial development, age of weaning, use of teeth as a ‘third hand’. Though this method is widely adopted by researchers all over the globe, in the Indian archaeological context, such studies are few and far between. The potential of tooth wear analysis in Indian archaeological arena needs to be tapped for better understanding of ancient humans.","PeriodicalId":53825,"journal":{"name":"Ancient Asia-Journal of the Society of South Asian Archaeology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47224388","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}

However, more recently in a systematic survey of North West Kashmir six more sites from Baramulla District were added to the list. Systematically studying these new sites permitted some attempts to characterise settlement patterns during this period in the district, through understanding types of sites, landscape features, material culture and any evidence for interactions inside and outside Kashmir. Burzahom, Gufkral and Kanispora, (the key excavated sites of Kashmir), and several others thought to be Neolithic on the grounds of surface finds, have already provided some information about interactions during the Neolithic period in Kashmir with South Asia more closely with Pakistan. Through this paper, I aim to contextualise new interpretations in the broader region of South Asia and understand the level of interactions between Kashmir and Swat during Neolithic times. This is achieved by considering findings and results of the material culture from new sites in Baramulla as well as the previously known in the Kashmir region.","PeriodicalId":53825,"journal":{"name":"Ancient Asia-Journal of the Society of South Asian Archaeology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46609896","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}

This paper examines the impact of environmental and geological conditions on location of Late Bronze Age Shahrake Firouzeh settlement. Shahrake Firouzeh settlement is located northwest of Neyshabur County with an average altitude of 1250 meters above sea level and 36°12′48″N 58°47′45″E coordinates. At the same time, geological and sedimentation outcrops based on research method of systemic comparative analysis have been used to examine the impact of these conditions on location and/or destruction of this site. Evidence suggests the occurrence of a massive climatic catastrophe in the second millennium BC in Shahrake Firouzeh site, which buried the entire plain under alluvial deposits in a short period of time. These developments occurred concurrent with the establishment of the settlement and a short while after abandonment of it. Due to the vast area of Shahrake Firouzeh, lack of water extraction techniques of qanāt and deep well digging, the conveyance of water from Somea basin through canals can be deemed. Location of Shahrake Firouzeh on floodplain deposits as well as minimum distance from the watershed outlet due to water conveyance indicates the agricultural origin of this site.","PeriodicalId":53825,"journal":{"name":"Ancient Asia-Journal of the Society of South Asian Archaeology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47963711","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}
