Ponds and Their Potential for Agricultural Sustainability in Punjab; Insights from a Century of Surface Water Change in the Granary of India
Ponds are one of the most basic landscape features that humans can use to manage water, and were important landscape features common especially in periods before people began extracting groundwater using fossil-fuels. In this article we use historical cartography and geospatial methods to analyse a century of change in pond distribution in the Indian state of Punjab, part of a larger area colloquially known as the ‘Granary’ of India. We ask how t…
Inequality declined in the Bronze Age city of Mohenjo-daro
Mohenjo-daro was a major city of the Indus Civilisation ( c . 2600–1900 BC), with excavations revealing evidence for public infrastructure, civic amenities and hundreds of residences. Archaeologists traditionally assume that urbanism is accompanied by economic stratification, but, at Mohenjo-daro, qualitative evidence of inequality is absent. Drawing on early excavation data, the authors here calculate Gini coefficients of residence area, providi…
Meeting the Urgent Need and Growing Demand for Archaeological Synthesis
Douglas Price-have made the journal our discipline's premier outlet for archaeological synthesis (Feinman and Nicholas 2026).Under their stewardship, the journal became a countervailing force against an ever-expanding range of regional and methodological specializations that create subgroups within our field.While specialization is necessary to improve our knowledge of the human past, it can also isolate practitioners into small communities and d…

Uncovering the Multibiome Environmental and Earth System Legacies of Past Human Societies
It has been argued that we have now entered the Anthropocene, a proposed epoch in which humans are having a dominant impact on the Earth system. While some geologists have sought to formalize the Anthropocene as beginning in the mid-twentieth century, its social, geophysical, and environmental roots undoubtedly lie deeper in the past. In this review, we highlight the ways in which human activities across the major biomes of our planet significant…
The Global Dynamics of Inequality (Gini) project
The GINI project investigates the dynamics of inequality among populations over the long term by synthesising global archaeological housing data. This project brings archaeologists together from around the world to assess hypotheses concerning the causes and consequences of inequality that are of relevance to contemporary societies globally
Cities and Citadels
Cities and Citadels provides an urgent update of archaeology’s engagement with economic theory. Recent events have forced a major reassessment of economic thinking. In the wake of the 2008 Great Recession and the economic impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the world finds itself in unprecedented times. Even though archaeology typically concerns itself with the remote past, it must also help us understand how we got to where we are today. This book …
Of Revenue Without Rulers
The archaeology of collective action addresses a widespread myth about the past–that premodern societies were despotic, and only produced public goods when everyday people convinced a separate and distinct ruling class to provide them. Archaeological evidence from the Indus civilization (~2600–1900 BC), home to the first cities in South Asia, reveals that Indus cities engaged in a remarkably egalitarian form of governance to coordinate different …
Automated detection of archaeological mounds using machine-learning classification of multisensor and multitemporal satellite data
Significance This paper illustrates the potential of machine learning-based classification of multisensor, multitemporal satellite data for the remote detection and mapping of archaeological mounded settlements in arid environments. Our research integrates multitemporal synthetic-aperture radar and multispectral bands to produce a highly accurate probability field of mound signatures. The results largely expand the known concentration of Indus se…
An interdisciplinary framework for using archaeology, history and collective action to enhance India’s agricultural resilience and sustainability
South Asia has a deep history of agriculture that includes a range of past farming systems in different climatic zones. Many of these farming systems were resilient to changes in climate and sustainable over long periods of time. India’s present agricultural systems are facing serious challenges, as they have become increasingly reliant on the unsustainable extraction of groundwater for irrigation. This paper outlines an interdisciplinary framewo…
Killing the Priest-King
The cities of the Indus civilization were expansive and planned with large-scale architecture and sophisticated Bronze Age technologies. Despite these hallmarks of social complexity, the Indus lacks clear evidence for elaborate tombs, individual-aggrandizing monuments, large temples, and palaces. Its first excavators suggested that the Indus civilization was far more egalitarian than other early complex societies, and after nearly a century of in…
Debt and inequality
To transform debts into permanent inequalities, David Graeber (2011:14) argues that creditors must possess the "means to specify" what they are owed. Therefore, changes in the technologies used to specify can transform social relations, warranting a deeper investigation of what are effectively the "means of specification." Seals and sealings from the early cities of South Asia and the Near East are a touchstone for comparing changes in the means …
Disciplinary differences and other variations in assessment cultures in higher education
This article argues that differing disciplinary assessment cultures are likely to be an important factor in explaining differences in student marks and grades both within and between higher education institutions. Using institution-wide data on undergraduate student marks over the last five years in one UK higher education institution we demonstrate variability in the distribution of marks in terms of the ‘distance travelled’. This issue was furt…
Landscapes of Urbanization and De-Urbanization
Survey data play a fundamental role in studies of social complexity. Integrating the results from multiple projects into large-scale analyses encourages the reconsideration of existing interpretations. This approach is essential to understanding changes in the Indus Civilization's settlement distributions (ca . 2600-1600 b.c.), which shift from numerous small-scale settlements and a small number of larger urban centers to a de-nucleated pattern o…
Mohenjo-Daro's Small Public Structures
Together, the concepts of heterarchy and collective action offer potential explanations for how early state societies may have established high degrees of civic coordination and sophisticated craft industries in the absence of exclusionary political strategies or dominant centralized political hierarchies. The Indus civilization (c. 2600–1900 bc) appears to have been heterarchical, which raises critical questions about how its infrastructure faci…

Outcomes among young adults placed in therapeutic residential care as children
Purpose The purpose of this article is to advance knowledge concerning outcomes among the former residents of therapeutic children's homes, especially those located in England. Design/methodology/approach In total, 16 young adults who had been resident in one of seven therapeutic homes took part in interviews. Findings It appeared, from the information they gave in these interviews, that their outcomes were good in terms of their emotional and be…

Time Longer than Rope
The story of the rights movement is well-known, popularized by both the media and the academy. Yet the version of the story recounted time and again by both history books and PBS documentaries is a simplified one, reduced to an inspirational but ultimately facile narrative framed around Dr. King, the Kennedys, and the redemptive days of Montgomery and Memphis, in which black individuals become the rescued survivors. This story renders the mass of…
