ABSTRACT
This chapter explains the culture process during the Late Jorwe phase of occupation in the Deccan, which marks a shift from farming to pastoralism. The Late Jorwe people worshipped a mother goddess, as did their predecessors. The people believed in life after death. The dead were buried usually within the house floor in a pit specially dug for the purpose. The custom was the same as the Early Jorwe burial practice. At the end of the Late Jorwe in the 8th century BC the people used coarse painted jars in place of grey urns for burying children. The climate change in the first half of the 1st millennium BC has been reflected in the archaeological record, whereas that for the early Medieval and the Medieval has been referred to in the literature. It has been observed that Climate is a world-wide integrated system. Significant changes cannot take place in one part of the system without changes occurring in other places.
