Book Description
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.
