A Shifting River, Shifting Narratives
A landscape perspective to primate crop raiding behaviour
Landscape structure drives wildlife crop-raiding, but specific landscape components operate variably at different spatial scales. We investigated landscape components that influence rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) crop-raiding at three different spatial scales – forest divisions, villages, farms – in Himachal Pradesh, northern India. We employed remote sensing and GIS techniques, household-level interviews, vegetation sampling and macaque behavio…
Tracing Ancient Itinerants and Early Medieval Rulers in the Forests of Bandhavgarh
This article arises out of a disquiet about the archaeology of historical India which has largely been concerned with cities and villages. Forests and wilderness rarely figure there, except in passing when the expanding agricultural terrain is described in relation to forest lands being domesticated or when there is an exploration of lines of communication, some of which pass through forested tracts. Because of this gap in engaging with lands bey…
Hydrological maps as a tool for the exploration of historical water systems at Badami, Karnataka, India
Riverfront Gardens and City Walls of Mughal Agra
Analysing old maps and correlating patterns with remote sensing (RS) images have been a useful technique for identifying features of cultural heritage. The present work has conducted a geospatial analysis of Mughal Agra by comparing historical maps and satellite imagery. This paper make two distinct contributions: (1) it expands existing findings on the riverfront Mughal city by identifying the position and footprint of all the riverfront complex…

Epicentres of Missing Daughters
The spatial spread of the female child deficit in India has been explored in terms of hot spots (with high deficits) and cold spots (with more female-favourable child sex ratios). It has been argued, using the Census of India data from individual censuses, that there is a contagion effect for both hot spots and cold spots. This paper takes this discussion forward by asking whether such an effect can be seen across censuses. To do so, it develops …
Potential of satellite based sensors for studying distribution of archaeological sites along palaeo channels
Space observation for generating 3D perspective views and its implication to the study of the archaeological site of Badami in India
