Evaluating the Indian Summer Monsoon intensity using archeological seeds from early–late historic Vidarbha, Central India
We present an archaeobotanical record representing ~2300 years BP farming practice at Nagardhan an Early Historic—Late Medieval site in the Vidarbha region, Maharashtra, central India. The study assesses the crop harvesting patterns and Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) intensity using two different approaches (archaeobotany, and canonical correspondence analysis) to understand the variability and impact of ISM on human subsistence systems during perio…
Dust storms or landslides? Investigating drivers of settlement, abandonment and landscape change at a Bronze Age farming site in Kyrgyzstan
The earliest evidence of high-elevation ice age occupation in Australia
Australia's Eastern Highlands have traditionally been viewed as a cold-climate barrier to Late Pleistocene (~35,000-11,700 years ago) mobility, with older evidence restricted to elevations below the periglacial zone. However, this model has not been adequately tested with regionally specific, high-resolution archaeological data. Here we report excavation results from a high-altitude (1,073 m) cave, Dargan Shelter, in the upper Blue Mountains, whi…
Before ‘Agro-pastoralism’? A Review of Early and Middle Holocene Human Settlement of the Western Himalaya-Hindu Kush and Pamir-Alay Ranges
Archaeological, botanical, and faunal data from across the Inner Asian Mountains have revealed a range of agricultural and pastoral adaptations to environments previously perceived as marginal zones, possibly dating as early as 5000 years BP. Less understood is the period between the beginning of the Holocene and the development of agro-pastoralism in the region. This chapter reviews the available archaeological data from the mountainous areas of…
Late Bronze Age agriculture and the early westward transmission of rice at Luanzagangzi, Northern Xinjiang, China
The Dzungar Basin of northern Xinjiang has previously been considered a marginal environment with little evidence for the development of prehistoric agriculture. Recent archaeobotanical studies have indicated the region as being a route for the transmission of domesticated plants, technologies and ideas between East and West Eurasia during prehistory, as early as 5000 BP. These interactions are still poorly understood and most evidence for early …

Re-examining climate-driven Malthusian collapse in Kashmir
Cereal size, AMS and charcoal data from phase 1 of the Kashmir Prehistory Project
The wind that shakes the barley
This paper investigates the eastern movements of barley grains and their morphological variations in prehistory. By combining previously published and newly collected archaeobotanical grain measurements (n = 2,176), we explore the roles of culinary traditions underlying the morphological traits observed. We find that barley diminished in size as it moved from its origin in southwestern Asia to Central and East Asia between the third millennium BC…
Inner Asian agro-pastoralism as optimal adaptation strategy of Wupu inhabitants (3000–2400 cal BP) in Xinjiang, China
Exploring ancient socio-economic adaptation is a basic issue of human-environment interaction. Xinjiang in northwest China is a region of high geographic diversity. Past human adaptations to this arid marginal area is a current focus of research interest but still lacks in-depth study. This article presents data from the Wupu Cemetery, located in the extremely arid Hami Basin in the eastern Tianshan Mountains. Archaeobotanical analysis is used to…
Variable monsoons and human adaptations
We present the first systematic evaluation of the relationship between the archaeological and palaeoclimatic record from north-western India during the past millennium, from the urban site of Chandravati. The rarity of Medieval sites, systematic excavations and multi-disciplinary work in the subcontinent obscure the impact of two distinct climate anomalies − the ‘Medieval Warm Period’ (‘MWP’, 740 − 1150 CE), followed by the ‘Little Ice Age’ (‘LIA…
Linking past cultural developments to palaeoenvironmental changes from 5000 BP to present

Investigation of the diverse plant uses at the South Aisikexiaer Cemetery (~ 2700-2400 years bp) in the Hami Basin of Xinjiang, Northwest China
New evidence for early 4th millennium BP agriculture in the Western Himalayas
Early Neolithic agriculture (2700–2000 bc) and Kushan period developments (ad 100–300)
