The Late Harappan period (1900-1300 BCE) of the Indian subcontinent saw a rapid decline in civic standards as compared to the preceding Mature period, possibly owing to economic and climatic factors. My research aims to understand the impact of the socio-economic transition between the Mature and Late Harappan phases through a bioarchaeological study of children and child health. The developing child skeleton is particularly sensitive to malnourishment, disease, and trauma, which can occur at times of sudden economic and/or social change. This field of Indian archaeology remains underexplored, and yet my project will resonate with many issues facing India today including poverty, disease, and the climate emergency.

印度次大陆的哈拉帕晚期（公元前1900年至公元前1300年）与之前的成熟时期相比，公民标准迅速下降，可能是由于经济和气候因素。我的研究旨在通过对儿童和儿童健康的生物考古学研究，了解成熟和后期哈拉帕阶段之间的社会经济转型的影响。发育中的儿童骨骼对营养不良、疾病和创伤特别敏感，这可能发生在突然的经济和/或社会变革时期。印度考古学的这一领域仍然没有得到充分的探索，但我的项目将与印度今天面临的许多问题产生共鸣，包括贫困，疾病和气候紧急情况。
