Quarrying and transportation of megalith monuments in Willong Khullen village in Manipur, Northeast India: As an ethnographical insight into South Asia
This paper fills a research gap on the quarrying, transportation, and erection of megaliths among the Naga communities of Northeast India and South Asia. I draw insights from a megalith-building event documented in 2020 at Willong Khullen, a Maram Naga village in Manipur. In this case, a quarry crew spent 16 days extracting a stone and transporting it approximately 42 kilometres. Contemporary practices combine modern and traditional methods, yet …

Politics and Social Connotations of Feasts of Merit Among the Poumai Nagas in Northeast India
This article examines the politics of the megalith building tradition based on an ethnoarchaeological survey conducted in Liyai Khullen, an unexplored village inhabited by the Poumai Naga tribe in the Indian state of Manipur. I documented and mapped 554 stone monuments in and around the village, revealing a concentration in the habitation area and near footpaths leading to terraced fields. Additionally, I explored the stages of "feasts of merit" …
Production and Exchange Networks of Cord-marked Pottery from Oinam Village in Manipur, Northeast India: An Ethnoarchaeological Perspective
The production of cord-marked pottery in the village of Oinam, located in the Indian state of Manipur, is practiced by the women potters of the Poumai Nagas, an Indigenous Tibeto-Burman ethnic community. A two-week ethnographic study was conducted in 2021 among the Poumai Nagas to document the dynamics of the production process and oral accounts of the potters and other villagers including residents from the non-pottery-producing Naga villages. W…
Cord-marked Pottery in Oinam: An extant craft in the Naga Hills, India
Oinam village in the state of Manipur in India, is known for its enduring tradition of pottery, defined by the cord-marked design on the pots. Cord-marked pottery is also found in various archaeological sites in Northeast India. Scholars have argued that pottery remains with cord-marked designs could be traced back to the Neolithic period. However, while these hand-made, earthen pots were once in high demand, they have been replaced by durable pl…
Preliminary Archaeological Survey in the Salangthel Hill in Manipur, India
An archaeological survey was conducted in the Salangthel Hill, in Manipur (India), in 2019 to assess the nature of material records. The survey documented megaliths and engraved marks on stones such as footprints, female genital organs, and depressed marks, some of which were previously reported but also include documentation of unreported features such as a rock pool. The survey reveals that three ethnic communities settled near the vicinity ass…
