The primary focus is on surveying, systematic documentation of new  sites and raw material, mapping and studying later prehistoric sites in the  Lower Son Valley in Sonbhadra district, Uttar Pradesh. I am applying various  approaches such as lithic analysis, stable isotope studies and absolute dating  to understand and compare the diverse timing of environmental change and  technological transitions across central and western India. A comparative  analysis on the palaeoenvironments of the Lower Son Valley, Uttar Pradesh with  selected sites from central and western India will be conducted using stable  isotopes. This research aims enhance our knowledge on ecological, behavioural  and technological aspects from the Indian Late Acheulean to the Indian early  microlithic phases.<br>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>Websites: <\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Shashi-Mehra\">https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Shashi-Mehra<\/a> https:\/\/iiserm.academia.edu\/mehrashashi<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>Education: <\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 M.Sc (Anthropology), [University of Delhi]<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">B.Sc (Zoology(H)), [University of  Delhi] PHD<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>Fellowship\/Scholarship: <\/strong>\u00a0UGC -SRF<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>Title of the thesis:<\/strong>Late Pleistocene palaeoenvironments  and hominin adaptations in North-central India: A comparative study of Lower Son  Valley (U.P.) and other select sites.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>Selected Publications: <\/strong>Mehra, S.B. 2018.
