Human Skeletal Remains from the Medieval Site of Sanjan
This research is focused on the Medieval human skeletal series recovered from Sanjan (Valsad District, Gujarat, India). Horizontal excavations were undertaken at the archaeological site of Sanjan for three field seasons during 2002-05 jointly by the World Zarathushti Cultural Foundation and the Indian Archaeological Society. Studies on human skeletal remains recovered from the excavations were undertaken at the Anthropology laboratory of Archaeology Department of Deccan College Post-Graduate and Research Institute, Pune in 2006-07. The skeletal series of Sanjan is promising for more than one reason. The Parsis are Zoroastrian refugees from Iran, who made their landing near the present town of Sanjan on the coast of western India around 750 A.D. The Parsis represented in the skeletal series are the 16th century representatives of the ancestral migrant population. The broader aim of this study is to provide anthropological data for the skeletal population, an intermediate stage, which could be effectively used to evaluate the evolutionary changes seen from the ancestral population residing in Iran and the contemporary Indian Parsis.
Human Skeletal Remains from Chalcolithic Nevasa
This work examines human skeletal finds from Nevasa, India, in the light of the new knowledge available. More than 131 burials were uncovered from the site between 1954 and 1961. All burials belong to the Chalcolithic period except one, which comes from the Indo-Roman level. The previously unstudied osseous remains of 75 immature individuals recovered from the site of Nevasa comprise the main subject matter of the present research. In order to draw a concise picture of the bio-cultural adaptations of these agro-pastorals (and Deccan Chalcolithic populations in general) it was necessary to thoroughly examine all the immature and fragmentary elements recovered. The study covers demography, phenotype, dentition and pathology, yielding insights about the make-up, life and diet of the community under study, comparisons between the Deccan Chalcolithic, Southern Chalcolithic and Harappan populations, population stress and causes of death.

Rethinking Global Governance
This book argues that long-ignored, non-western political systems from the distant and more recent past can provide critical insights into improving global governance. These societies show how successful collection action can occur by dividing sovereignty, consensus building, power from below, and other mechanisms. For a better tomorrow, we need to free ourselves of the colonial constraints on our political imagination. A pandemic, war in Europe, and another year of climatic anomalies are among the many indications of the limits of global governance today. To meet these challenges, we must look far beyond the status quo to the thousands of successful mechanisms for collective action that hav...
