Beginning with the Neolithic Chalcolithic phase to the introduction of iron technology in the Megalithic period and its consequent impact in the early historic times, this book examines the variations in iron making in peninsular India. Using archaeological data, where available, of the various regions of Andhra Pradesh (including Telengana), Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala, a phase-wise analysis has been presented to highlight the material conditions of the various regions prior to, and after the introduction of iron technology, and to reflect changes in agricultural patterns, artisanal and structural activities and civilizational progress over time. An attempt has also been made to show the regional variations that exist in terms of the adoption of iron and its impact on the agricultural development and the proliferation of arts and crafts. Since it takes into account theories and empirical studies in peninsular India, this book makes a substantial contribution to the literature on iron technology and social change in India.

This book presents a paradigm shift in the long-term study of South India’s deep history. It refuses the disciplinary constraints of history and prehistory and interrogates the archaeological and textual records of the Deccan to disrupt its conventional archaeological periodizations, which have tended to reify and dehistoricize social and cultural differences. This book draws on over 20 years of original archaeological research from the southern Deccan region of India to critically reappraise the historiography that has framed its deep history. It fundamentally questions conventional archaeological paradigms, rooted in early colonial scholarship, which have structured interpretations of deep time with curiously ahistorical narratives of the past. This volume offers a more nuanced assessment of historical changes across a diversity of cultural, social, and political practices through the novel application of theoretical framings to archaeological and historical data, including political ecology, techno-politics, resource materialities, and landscape production. This book will interest an interdisciplinary audience of graduate and undergraduate students and professional academics, primarily in the fields of archaeology, history, and South Asian studies. Its theoretical interventions will also be of interest to those invested in the anthropology and the archaeology of politics, chronology, historicity, historiography, materiality and landscapes.

This dissertation addresses several aspects of the study of craft production and social and economic organization during the Iron Age (c. 1200 B.C.E. - 400 B.C.E.) and Early Historic Periods (c. 400 B.C.E. - 400 C.E.) in South India. In particular, I examine the techniques and technologies and the organization of production of semi-precious stone ornaments from Kodumanal, Pattanam, and Kadebakele. In addition, I analyzed a large sample of the ceramic assemblage from Kodumanal, and established a typology and a ceramic chronology based on forms and wares. Kodumanal was a site of intensive production of beads, finger rings, and ear spool ornaments, primarily in high quality, clear crystalline quartz. I analyzed the beads, ornaments, and production waste excavated from Kodumanal, using methods derived from the chaîne opératoire approach. By classifying the products of the different stages in ornament production, I tracked the nature and intensity of ornament production over time in all the excavated trenches. The results of this approach showed that production of quartz beads and ornaments was carried out to varying degrees in different areas of the habitation at Kodumanal, and the scale of production varied significantly over time. There is evidence of segmentation in the stages of production of semi-precious stone ornament production, which may indicate control over production (Kenoyer 1989, 1991, 1995, 2000). Though it has long been clear that both Black and Red Ware and bleached carnelian beads were important parts of megalithic ritual and daily life, my analysis shows strong conservatism in the kinds of ornaments and pottery interred in megalithic monuments from the Iron Age to Early Historic period. This is in marked contrast with the changing assemblages of ornaments and ceramics used in daily life and discarded in habitation sites. The significant conclusions of this research show several broad trends over the course of the Iron Age and Early Historic periods. The economic strategies of craft producers were fluctuating over time, and trade became increasingly regular and systematic. Despite the increasing availability of new forms, styles and materials of ornament, there was strong conservatism in the kinds of material culture interred in megalithic practices.
