Beginning in late fourth millennium BC and continuing to the end of second millennium BC the material culture of the Neolithic period has been reported from several places in Kashmir in the past. However, more recently in a systematic survey of North West Kashmir six more sites from Baramulla District were added to the list. Systematically studying these new sites permitted some attempts to characterise settlement patterns during this period in the district, through understanding types of sites, landscape features, material culture and any evidence for interactions inside and outside Kashmir. Burzahom, Gufkral and Kanispora, (the key excavated sites of Kashmir), and several others thought to be Neolithic on the grounds of surface finds, have already provided some information about interactions during the Neolithic period in Kashmir with South Asia more closely with Pakistan. Through this paper, I aim to contextualise new interpretations in the broader region of South Asia and understand the level of interactions between Kashmir and Swat during Neolithic times. This is achieved by considering findings and results of the material culture from new sites in Baramulla as well as the previously known in the Kashmir region.

新石器时代的克什米尔与斯瓦特–两个不同地区遗址之间的物质文化比较分析

从公元前四千年末开始一直持续到公元前二千年末，过去在克什米尔的许多地方都报道了新石器时代的物质文化。但是，最近在对西北克什米尔地区的系统调查中，又增加了来自巴拉穆拉区的另外六个地点。通过系统地研究这些新站点，可以通过了解站点的类型，景观特征，物质文化以及克什米尔内部和外部相互作用的任何证据来尝试描述该地区在此期间的定居模式。Burzahom，Gufkral和Kanispora（克什米尔的主要发掘地）以及其他几处以地表发现为基础的新石器时代遗址，我们已经提供了一些有关克什米尔新石器时代与南亚和巴基斯坦的互动的信息。通过这篇文章，我旨在将南亚更广阔地区的新解释与背景联系起来，并了解新石器时代克什米尔人与斯瓦特人之间的互动程度。这是通过考虑在巴拉穆拉（Baramulla）以及以前在克什米尔地区新发现的物质文化的发现和结果来实现的。
