Neolithic South East Asia

Take 2! After an Audacity crash caused me to lose my first recording I was able to rerecord, and while I think this is much rougher we were still able to go over some highlights of this period of Neolithic South East Asia in general like the spread of agriculture and the domestication of pig and chickens.. I also focused on some specific sites in what is now Thailand. Twitter/X: https://x.com/WarAdRevPod YouTube: https://youtu.be/0hn_eJ-8wxQ

Agriculture from the East?

This week I go over some agricultural developments. One about millet domestication I forgot to cover in an earlier episode. The other is about rice domestication and the possibility of local strains being domesticated prior to the introduction of other strains from the East. We also discuss potential animal domestication events. Finally we discuss potential relations and interactions to neighboring peoples and regions in East Asia.

The Ganges and Brahmaputra

This week's episode deals with some etymology of the two eponymous rivers. The climate of the regions their systems run through and how that has affected archeology of this region during this period. We also give a very brief overview of the populations living in what is now Nepal and Bhutan. Twitter/X: https://x.com/WarAdRevPod YouTube: https://youtu.be/5Z3fFC3ihMo

If they existed during this season's time frame and if so where. We also talk about the Vedda people of Sri Lanka Twitter/X: https://x.com/WarAdRevPod YouTube: https://youtu.be/z36xqaQO76Y

This week we talk about the similarities between the sties we discussed last week and the numerous villages and sites emerging along the Indus River Valley.

Developments at Mehrgarh

This week I am following up to some questions about the Eurasian Steppe. Before we moved on to talk about the end of the first phase of Mehrgarh, a site we first discussed last season. We move into the second stage and appearance of pottery as well as the wide range of new production techniques developed during the period. We also go over changes to burials during this period.
