Analysis of Multicultural Factors in Prehistoric Archaeological Materials in Kashmir

Abstract

Previous archaeological research has highlighted connections between discoveries from Kashmir, Central Asia, and West Asia as well as other regions of wider South Asia. However, the relationship between Kashmir and the Tibetan Plateau is poorly understood. To explore the cultural relationship between these two regions, we compare multiple archeological evidences, including dwelling pits, pottery, bone, and stone tools from two Neolithic sites of each region. This research deepens our understanding of prehistoric interaction across the Himalayas.
