Summary:

The Chalcolithic phase of the Deccan Plateau flourished between 2000 and 700 B.C. It marks the beginning of sedentary life and agriculture in the region. The Deccan Chalcolithic human skeletal series recovered primarily from five Chalcolithic sites, viz. Nevasa, Chandoli, Inamgaon, Daimabad and Kaothe, is one of the largest human skeletal series in the Indian subcontinent. In order to draw a concise picture regarding the bio-cultural adaptations of these agro-pastorals (and the Deccan Chalcolithic populations, in general) it was necessary to thoroughly examine all the immature and fragmentary elements recovered. This study is essentially an attempt to fill this lacuna.
