Kundakhai
The Middle Palaeolithic is often considered crucial in understanding the dynamics of spatiotemporal evolutionary changes, typified by the appearance of complex socio-cultural behaviour and adaptive strategies of modern humans in the archaeological context. In case of the Indian subcontinent, this cultural phase is of immense significance as it involves hotly debated issues pertaining to timing and dispersal of anatomically modern humans out of Af…
Recently Discovered Middle Palaeolithic Foothill Site at Kundakhai in the Southern Bargarh Upland of Odisha
The present report is the result of our intensive investigation conducted in the southern part of the Bargarh upland, Odisha with particular reference to an inselberg located close to the village of Kundakhai. The most interesting aspect of the lithic assemblage recovered from this site a pre-dominance of Levallois elements the assemblage includes cores, flakes, a very few blades and bladelets, a solitary example of a semi-handaxe of chert, The q…
Sourcing Used Red Ochre in the Late Middle Palaeolithic Context at Torajunga, Bargarh Uplands, Odisha, India
Recently, a large number of Late Palaeolithic open-air and rock shelter sites have been reported and studied from across South Asia [22-29].However, evidence for red ochre/iron oxide use at open air sites in the Late Pleistocene context has not yet been reported from most of these microlith-bearing sites in South Asia.At Jwalapuram, Locality-9 rock shelter, striated red ochre crayon with several grinding facets have been reported from N3, Level 3…
Fresh Light on the Mass Production of Stone Adzes and Chisels in the Southern Bonaigarh, Odisha
Fresh investigation carried out in the southern part of Bonaigarh subdivision of Sundargarh district, Odisha, brought to light some very significant dimensions of lithic celt production sites located in the village Sulabhdih and its surrounding region. Not only valley floors and foothills, but slope and top of hills were also utilized for mass production of semi-finished celts, particularly chisels and adzes. Our study suggests that mass producti…
Early Historic Gemstone Bead Workshops at the Badmal Asurgarh and Bhutiapali in the Middle Mahanadi Valley Region, Odisha, India
Recent archaeological investigations conducted in the tributaries of the Middle Mahanadi Valley region of Odisha have brought to light evidence for large-scale bead manufacturing workshop sites, i.e. Badmal Asurgarh and Bhutiapali belonging to the Early Historic period. Most interestingly, while the Badmal site is a fortified settlement, the latter site is an extensive open-air bead workshop site. Significantly, both the sites brought to light ev…
