| Summary, etc | This study is the first ever attempt in India to tackle the archaeology of shifting cultivation. As such it takes an ethno-historic path to expose the changes wrought upon the shifting cultivation system of the Paharias of Santal Paraganas and so to explain its presently observable dynamics. The goal of the study is to extract from its ethnohistory a model for predicting the archaeological material of the Rajmahal Hills. A survey strategy was designed based on the intensive study of the Paharia settlements, resource use, and technology, after studying the present settlement patterns. This book will be of interest to archaeologists, anthropologists, historians, agricultural scientists, administrators, and policy planners. https://aakarbooks.com/product/the-hoe-and-the-axe-an-ethnohistory-of-shifting-cultivation-in-eastern-india/?srsltid=AfmBOooGgg0MVrpdere5r09JdfP_IlGkDI2ztGFvvkLdR1KuWVID2SSI |
