“…Traditional approaches to the assessment of crop processing have looked for 'consumer' and'producer' sites (e.g., Hillman 1981, 1984;Jones, GEM 1984;Jones, MK 1984, 1985. Such approaches have, however, been critiqued as being overly simplistic because these terms do not simply reflect the relationships between sites and incorporate a number of assumptions, particularly in supposing that a site has a single role or relationship in the system (Khazanov 1984;van der Veen 1992;Stevens 1996Stevens , 2003Mattingly 1997;Morley 1997;Arnold 2000;Fuller et al 2014). More recently, models have been used which focus on when during the processing sequence crops were stored (e.g., Stevens 1996Stevens , 2003Fuller and Stevens 2009;Fuller et al 2014).…”

This paper presents a preliminary study combining macrobotanical and phytolith analyses to explore crop processing at archaeological sites in Haryana and Rajasthan, northwest India. Current understanding of the agricultural strategies in use by populations associated with South Asia's Indus Civilisation (3200-1900 BC) has been derived from a small number of systematic macrobotanical studies focusing on a small number of sites, with little use of multi-proxy analysis. In this study both phytolith and macrobotanical analyses are used to explore the organisation of crop processing at five small Indus settlements with a view to understanding the impact of urban development and decline on village agriculture. The differing preservation potential of the two proxies has allowed for greater insights into the different stages of processing represented at these sites: with macrobotanical remains allowing for more species-level specific analysis, though due to poor chaff presentation the early stages of processing were missed; however these early stages of processing were evident in the less highly resolved but better preserved phytolith remains. The combined analyses suggests that crop processing aims and organisation differed according to the season of cereal growth, contrary to current models of Indus Civilisation labour organisation that suggest change over time. The study shows that the agricultural strategies of these frequently overlooked smaller sites question the simplistic models that have traditionally been assumed for the time period, and that both multi-proxy analysis and rural settlements are deserving of further exploration.

“…A nomadic encampment evokes the notion, not unproblematic (see Humphrey 2002), of the Domestic Mode of Production, in which, in different contexts, the encampment or its constituent households may rely extensively, although not entirely (Khazanov 1984;Marx 2006), on the labour and resources of its own members. In contrast to such a tendency (albeit not total) towards self-reliance, refugee camps may subject refugees to a regime of dependence on external aid that has been criticized for its debilitating effects (Harrell-Bond 1986).…”

Ambiguities of Space and Control: When Refugee Camp and Nomadic Encampment Meet

This article explores sedentarisation as a process of inherent tension between the rupture and preservation of values associated with mobility. This tension is compelling when mobile pastoralists settle in refugee camps. Refugee camps resemble nomadic encampments in material infrastructure and (alleged) non-permanence. Yet refugee camps contrast with nomadic encampments in facilitating control and evoking, through its disruption, rootedness. In the case of refugees of mobile pastoralist heritage from disputed territory Western Sahara, the tension in the meeting of nomadic encampment and refugee camps sees the nomadic encampment reproduced and transformed in the refugee camp, creating ambiguities of space and control.

“…Las agrupaciones pastoriles, a lo largo de la historia, se han distinguido por su intensa movilidad espacial. Es así que se les caracteriza frecuentemente como nómadas (Barth, 1961), seminómadas, semisedentarias o trashumantes (Khazanov, 1994). En el caso de las agrupaciones andinas es muy probable que los movimientos hacia la costa del Pacífico hayan sido realizados al seguir a los camélidos: No se debe rechazar la idea de que los cazadores andinos fueron posiblemente los primeros en adoptar sus hábitos al comportamiento de los camélidos salvajes (Núñez & Dillehay, 1995: 26).…”
