This book analyzes the agricultural and pastoral infrastructure of
the Mature and Late Harappan cultures (ca. 2500-1700 BC) of
northwest India. The economic role of drought-resistant millet
crops is reconstructed using ethnographic studies of crop
processing, palaeoethnobotany, and carbon isotope analysis. Reddy
reveals that simply recovering crop seeds from archaeological
contexts does not confirm local crop cultivation, and she suggests
that agricultural production of millet crops for human food and for
animal fodder may have been economically interwoven in the Harappan
civilization. New directions are provided for discerning
archaeologically how pastoralism and agriculture may be integrated
in complex economic systems.
