hunter-gatherers in South Asia. This article serves as an introduction to Chap-ters 3 to 6, which deal with South Asian forager-traders. What stands out in the archaeological record of the region is the evidence for a long history of trade contact between hunter-gatherers and agriculturalists and pastoralists, begin-ning by the mid-Holocene ...

Indigenous South Asian hunter-gatherers survived the Toba super-eruption, and adapted to environmental changes across the Late Pleistocene. About 35,000-30,000 years ago, new cultural innovations appear that correspond with environmental deterioration, habitat fragmentation, and demographic increase.

A glance at the map of South Asia reveals that national borders or state boundaries contribute little (if anything) to our understanding of societies and vulnerable tribal communities. Their lives depend on access to shared resources first denied by colonial powers in search of “free” land and “cheap” ( enslaved/bonded ) labour; and ...
