Book
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Contents Introduction. 1. Hunter Gatherer and early agriculturist archaeological evidence for contact. 2. Our tribal past. 3. A Chalcolithic village in a famine belt. 4. Pastoralism as an issue in historical research. The essays in this volume are an attempt to tease out from the scant archaeological (and to some extent historical) sources available some information on certain aspects of rural societies in the past mobility subsistence from animal herding symbiosis between crop production and animal rearing situating hunters and gatherers and the importance of forest as integral to rural life rather than the dichotomous other of the field or village. There is also an attempt to bring out the ways in which tribal society continuously misrepresented in academia today laid the foundations of many aspects of Indian civilization in the remote past. 109 pp.

Paperback. Condition: As New. New. Contents Publisher's introduction. Glossary. 1. The context/Shereen Ratnagar. 2. An analysis of the ASI Report/D. Mandal. 3. Comments on the ASI Report/Shereen Ratnagar. References. The controversy over the history of a small site in the city of Ayodhya has been a blot on the recent history of India not least because it has led to the deaths of hundreds of people. Was there indeed a temple commemorating the birth of the God Ram under the Mosque built by a General of Babur. For many who were not drawn into one or other position this began to look like a matter of ideology rather than fact. This until the time when the High Court of Allahabad directed the Archaeological Survey of India to open up the ground under the Mosque by then broken down by the vandals of 1992 to search for temple remains. The Archaeological Survey excavated the site for six months in 2003 and submitted its report the same year. The report gave the suggestion that there are traces of a pillared temple in strata under the Mosque. While this book places on record the reasons why two scholars conclude that claims about the temple are not credible in the broader sense it also indicates why attempts to restore holy places to their original owners can be self defeating projects. In this book two archaeologists discuss the excavated data and the presentation and interpretation of these data by the Archaeological Survey. They critique the methodology that was followed show that certain excavated objects are not compatible with temples question the existence of the foundations of temple pillars in strata beneath the Mosque and observe that there are very few architectural features that can point to the remains of a temple at the site. What is the evidence that can point to the destruction of a public building at a particular site. In explaining this and the problems of the relative dating of floors and walls it has been the endeavour of the authors to make stratigraphic archaeology intelligible to the lay reader. The authors have written this book not because they claim to have the last word but because they are convinced that thinking people should peruse the evidence for themselves and make up their own minds. Such issues cannot be left to the specialists in the mistaken notion that archaeology is the realm of the technical or the esoteric. 136 pp.

Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. This slim volume is an attempt to rouse the interest of students and non-specialists in the early civilization of the Indus valley and adjoining regions of Pakistan and India. The challenges of archaeological interpretation are discussed, together with maps, site plans and illustrations of artefacts, but the evidence is presented in social terms rather than in a technical way. In an attempt to cast an overall perspective, the Indus civilization is presented in the context of contemporary cultural development in South Asia as well as Western and Central Asia. The third edition of this volume included references to new ideas on the Indus civilization and to excavations at a small but significant site. This revised and updated fourth edition contains additional material on Dholavira and the harnessing of flash-floods.

Hardbound. Condition: As New. New. Contents Introduction. 1. The conceptual framework. 2. The technological foundations of the food producing village. 3. Pottery. 4. House construction. 5. Water supply and sanitation. 6. Metallurgy The Bronze Age. 7. Ivory carving and shell cutting the association with bronze or iron tools. 8. Wheeled transport. 9. Working with stone. 10. Iron. 11. Iron technology and the production of glass a necessary connection. 12. The labour process and the development of technology. Bibliography. Index. This is a study of technology as self help endeavour in the home and the provisioning of the household as work in the rural workshop that supplies pots or iron tools for the village and as techniques mastered in the urban workshop feasible not in simple tribal villages but when new production institutions emerge with the development of a political hierarchy. The reader is taken from the agricultural field to the building of the home (with its food processing and storage facilities) to urban water supply techniques and transport mechanisms to the use of stone bronze and iron for tools and weapons. A glimpse is afforded of the difference between the making of pottery by hand and the use of the potter's wheel. The social circumstances required of pottery production are in turn contrasted with those required of metallurgy. The whole is based on archaeological evidence of the Neolithic to Iron Age cultures of South Asia and concurrently on observations of some technological processes followed by villagers today. In the course of this exploration many points have come up for us to ponder. Sometimes it is the nature of the tools available that could have made possible the use of materials such as certain semi precious stones or ivory. Which were the craft technologies that depended on bronze tools in the Indus cities. Else it may have been horse riding that prompted chiefs of Southern India to sponsor the production of new kinds of iron weapons. It is besides possible that the charcoal requirements of early iron smelting and forging are connected with localized deforestation and that this had a role to play in the organization and dispersal of the industry. Why were masonry wells so rare after the Indus Valley Civilization. Why is glass production known in the Bronze Age of Western Asia but in the Iron Age of South Asia. In what economic circumstances did people begin to use wheeled transport. Technology is not viewed here as a self generating phenomenon. Instead some puzzles are explained in this book by social and economic factors such as the nature of the work group and the resultant production process and by political structures as well. 336 pp.

Book
As an archaeologist Shereen Ratnagar has been long involved in studying the enigma of early kin-organized small-scale and non-specialized societies which lack private landed-property and are free of a money economy; societies that we call tribal Having conducted ethno-archaeological research amongst tribal people in eastern Gujarat she spent a few months living with them to investigate how in spite of their miniscule land holdings they are able to raise crops regularly year after year Far from being abject or primitive tribal people schedule their subsistence in a rational way which is diversified in more ways than one and families are self-sufficient to a considerable extent That households think years ahead is also abundantly clear from their provisions for the storage of food Being Tribal attempts to define tribal society traces tribal migrations in history and examines their modes of agricultural production This book also comes to the conclusion that tribal culture is robust and that Indian society owes it to the tribal population-repeatedly displaced and marginalized in the interests of the powerful-to give them full scope to live out their destinies in their own way.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. This book approaches the archaeology of the Harappan culture of Pakistan and India from the view point of the early state. It attempts to tease out information on the mobilization of labour, the organization of production, the direction of overseas trade by a newly formed elite, and the management of scarce water resources by the rulers. It discusses the environment and productivity of the culture, the sequence of excavations, early ideas of the civilization as quintessentially Indian, evidence for warfare and the hand of the state behind certain kinds of settlement morphology and artefactual equipment. It asks whether the residents of Mohenjo-daro lived in kin-group clusters, and attempts to explain, through cross-cultural analogy, why the citadel sites are located where they are. A new idea on sailing routes is tentatively suggested, and it is argued that it was elite intervention and management that secured both floodwater supplies at Dholavira and some degree of urban sanitation at Mohenjo-daro. Multiple views of the reasons for the end of the civilization are discussed in the final section of the book.
