What is Production and Exchange Networks of Cord-marked Pottery from Oinam Village in Manipur, Northeast India: An Ethnoarchaeological Perspective about?
The production of cord-marked pottery in the village of Oinam, located in the Indian state of Manipur, is practiced by the women potters of the Poumai Nagas, an Indigenous Tibeto-Burman ethnic community. A two-week ethnographic study was conducted in 2021 among the Poumai Nagas to document the dynamics of the production process and oral accounts of the potters and other villagers including residents from the nonpottery-producing Naga villages. While there is decreasing demand for earthen vessels today, the survey's outcome suggests a large exchange network and interaction in the Naga Hills centered on the pottery of Oinam. This network facilitated trade and fostered political and economic alliances among the Naga communities. The study also supports the claim of regional exchange networks in the region in the past and further documents that cord-marked pottery formed a significant trade item.
