Abstract

Archaeological research on the origins and early development of agriculture in Asia has largely focused on the continent's western and eastern margins, with much less attention paid to the vast intervening regions of Central and South Asia. Now a bioarchaeological research project led by a new member of the Institute's staff is discovering how and when cultivation and pastoralism began in southern India.
