Southern Neolithic communities at Sanganakallu-Kupgal

Sanganakallu-Kupgal archaeological landscape

Settlement, ground-stone production, cattle-related evidence, ashmounds, rock art, and landscape survey illuminate changing Deccan communities without turning a material tradition into one ethnicity.

Neolithic settlement and landscape context Primarily 3rd-2nd millennia BCE Excavation, landscape survey, lithic production, ashmounds, subsistence remains, rock art, and chronology Sanganakallu-Kupgal archaeological landscape; a research area, not a tribal homeland or capital

Sequência histórica

Uma cronologia breve e documentada

Estes marcos servem de orientação e não constituem uma história completa.

  1. Neolithic settlements expand

    Occupation evidence records communities using a varied granite landscape.

    [S1] [S2]

  2. Herding, farming, and gathering coexist

    Subsistence evidence shows mixed strategies rather than a single economy.

    [S1] [S3]

  3. Production and exchange change

    Quarrying, tools, ceramics, and settlement organization reveal local and regional networks.

    [S2] [S3]

  4. Landscape research refines interpretation

    Survey and excavation connect activity areas while emphasizing preservation limits.

    [S1] [S2]

Línguas mencionadas neste perfil

  • No locally written language corpus identified

Família linguística: Unknown from archaeological classification

Ground-stone production connected quarry and settlement work.

Ashmounds require contextual interpretation rather than one ritual explanation.

Rock art and settlement evidence belong to distinct contexts.

Monuments, elite donations, inscriptions, royal edicts, seals, coins, and monastic records are unusually visible. Farmers, pastoralists, craftspeople, women, children, forest and mobile communities, enslaved or bonded people, migrants, and most spoken languages appear less evenly and must not be erased by elite archives.
