This trip will address the following topics and issues related to Quaternary of central India: Can patterns of vertebrate paleontology and taphonomy inform methods for recovery of hominin fossils? Can some of the regional Quaternary deposits be attributed to aeolian processes? What multidisciplinary methods can be used to document, collect and archive specific Quaternary deposits that are important, rare and at risk? Should in situ replicas be used to represent fossil or stone tool occurrences for educational purposes and geoheritage tourism? Participants will visit carefully selected Quaternary sites including important geological sections, a fossil hominin site, vertebrate fossil occurrences, stone tool occurrences and painted rock shelters to discuss geological contexts, interpretations and approaches for various scientific analyses including geochronological studies and other Quaternary methods.
