Abstract
Shinde explores the origins and development of village life in central India with an emphasis on the excavations at the site of Balathal. Villages developed independently in central India, but '…later flourished due to the establishment of close contacts with the Harappans. The creation by the Chalcolithic people at Balathal of monumental and complex buildings, the presence of tan ware and Harappan-like copper objects, may all have been the result of such contact.' (page 134).
