A new study in Garo Hills, Meghalaya, is examining soil changes to uncover insights into daily life during the Meghalayan Age.
Researchers in Meghalaya are using soil analysis to piece together a picture of daily life during the Meghalayan Age, a period of significant environmental change that began around 4,000 years ago. The Garo Hills region, known for its rich geological history, is proving to be a valuable site for this study. Soil samples are being examined for changes in composition and texture, which can indicate shifts in land use, agriculture, and even human settlements. This innovative approach to archaeology offers a unique window into the past, revealing how people adapted to a changing world thousands of years ago.
