Abstract

Mobility change and its archaeological indicators is one aspect that has been dealt with extensively in archaeological literature. Archaeologically, movement change has been understand at two levels, at the level of the region and at the level of a single site. This present work is a methodological exercise which seeks to understand mobility change from the archaeological record of a single site, ie, Inamgaon by reanalysing earlier arguments and bringing some new methods in this respect using actualistic research as a heuristic device to understand archaeological patterning. Criteria used by researchers to understand mobility change like house shape, form, change in organic remains, maintenance behaviour, spatial patterning have been critically assessed and used in this respect. The Chalcolithic site of Inamgaon situated in the western part of India has been taken up as a case study for this purpose.
