A Re-examination of the Animal Bone Remains from Rojdi, a Sorath Harappan Site in Northwest India

Summary

The later 3rd and early 2nd millennium site of Rojdi in Gujarat, India was excavated under the direction of the Professor Gregory Possehl d over eight field seasons between 1982 and 1995. Rojdi is an agricultural village with substantial stone architecture, most of which dates to the early second millennium (1900-1700 BCE). Significant progress has been made in our understanding of the Sorath Harappan culture, including detailed ceramic studies, analyses of archaeobotanical materials, and additional faunal studies, since the Rojdi excavations were completed in 1995. This presentation will re-examine the zooarchaeological data for herding strategies and hunting practices at Rojdi in light of the new archaeological and zooarchaeological data from the region.
