Harmonising Conservation and Livelihood: Sustainable Practices for Non-Timber Forest
In the fringe villages of a Protected Area for wildlife, the livelihood pattern is sometimes an issue of contestation. There is apprehension that Protected Area laws undermined people’s livelihood and traditional access to forests. For a win-win situation to be achieved, wherein both the forest and local people attain ecological and social security, the study has discussed sustainable extraction and value-added practices for commonly collected No…
Identifying anthropogenic and palaeoenvironmental markers of Holocene prehistoric assemblages of Northeast India: A case study of Khasi Hills (Meghalaya)
Integrating Folktales in Archaeological Investigations: A Study from Sikkim-Darjeeling Himalayas
The study probes into archaeological exploration carried out in two places — Daramdin and Samanden in the Sikkim-Darjeeling Himalayas. The site of exploration is selected based on place names mentioned in the folktales of the Lepchas. In this regard, two folktales are considered – Rumlyang Tungrong, which is premised in Daramdin, Sikkim and the legend of Sokpa Dhunga in Samanden, Darjeeling. Investigations evinced finds of potsherds strewn across…
AMS 14 C Dating of the Sites of Digaru-Kolong River Valley, Assam-Meghalaya Foothills, India
The present study aims to determine the chronology of the past settlement of the different archaeological sites of the Digaru–Kolong River valley (Assam-Meghalaya Foothills), India, based on accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14 C dates of seven charcoal samples, five potsherds, and five sediment samples. The archaeological record of the study area consists of ground and polished stone axes and adzes, pottery, and standing or buried megaliths. T…
Cherrapunjee: An Example of Human Impact on Environment
Palynological studies in Cherrapunjee located in Meghalaya, India have concluded that the modern grasslands of Cherrapunjee are the result of anthropogenic activity in the recent past leading to the deterioration of the primary dense forest. The forest humus was removed after extensive deforestation by human activity. Human presence in the area is indicated by Oryza Sativa, the common domesticated rice variety and Plantago lanceolata, which is a …

Thermal and spectroscopic characterization of archeological pottery from Ambari, Assam
The Third Perspective on Shifting Cultivation
There are two perspectives in which the understanding of food sustainability in the world is entangled. The first perspective which believes that food sustainability can be achieved by technology presents shifting cultivation as a reflection of a lower state of cultural evolution in comparison with more sophisticated societies (Oâ€TMBrien 2002).The second perspective which believes in culture, in the †̃way of lifeâ€TM paradigm valorise shifting c…
Negotiating Transnational Identities on Indo-Myanmar Border: The Trade Factor
The identity of the people in the Indo-Myanmar border in Northeast India is that they belong to the Indo-Mongoloid racial stock and speak languages belonging to the Tibeto-Burman group. Most of these groups trace their origin to some part of Southeast Asia. The historical routes both constrain and empower movements across borders and cultures. But traffic across borders has been controlled by the articulation of homelands or safe spaces assigned …
