 Jasper is the Japanese, Spanish and Pakistan initiative for the archaeology and heritage of Sindh. Sindh is one of the main provinces in Pakistan and we are looking at the remains from the Bronze Age of the Arabian civilization. This work is carried out through also support of the Palar Foundation from Spain and within Jasper there are several initiatives, several projects that are carried out by the Japanese side, the Pakistani side and especially from the UPF, from the Indigata Pompeu Favre, we have the Modragorov project that is looking at the new starting of the agriculture in South Asia and the Raindrops project that the PIE is Carla Lancellotti that is looking at irrigation. Raindrops is a starting grant funded by the European Research Council and it's a project that looks at agriculture in dry lands. Dry lands are considered very inhospitable and not very adapted to agriculture but our experience talking to people that lives in these places has showed us that actually people are much more adapted than we think to this inhospitable lands. So the project is going to look at long-term development of agricultural strategies in dry land and it's composed of three parts, one is more experimental, one is ethnography so we go and talk to people and understand what they do and how they do it and then the third part is archaeological to understand how far back these practices were carried out. The wider aim of the project is obviously to contribute to climate change and to the debate on current climate change as we know that dry lands are going to increase in size during the next few years and so the project wants to contribute to policymaking for agriculture in dry lands in general.
