This article by Dr. Ahongsangbam Kingson Singh & Oinam Ranjita Devi is about the prehistoric period marked a significant phase in the cultural evolution of early humans around the globe. Geologically, the period coincides with the terminal Pleistocene and Holocene epoch where riverine landscapes and larges lakes and water bodies open to humans. These new source of water bodies which aids in human settlements, innovation, and migrations near its proximity were also evidence in the context of Manipur. Predominant Neolithic archaeological sites in Manipur includes Nongpok Keithelmanbi, Napachik, Laimani, and Phunan. These sites were located near a major water source except the Phunan site. Large number of lithic and ceramic artifacts were excavated from these sites which are a significant marker of the Neolithic phase. The ceramics comprised of cord marked, incised, applique, and tripod wares. Technologically these potteries were handmade, ill fired, and tempered with sand and quartz showcasing a remarkable prowess in crafting activities. The tripod ware are comparable to the Southeast Asian and East Asian sites and indicates fair possibility for cultural exchanges and migrations during the prehistoric period via the river routes. The present study is a humble attempt to understand the Neolithic cultural evolution in the context of riverine landscape in Manipur.
