| Abstract: | The Khasi community inhibiting the Khasi-Jaintia hills of Meghalaya is one of the earliest inhabitants of North East India. The people were ignorant to the art writing till the British Christian missionary provided them with Roman scripts during the period of colonization of the hills in the 19th-20th century. Although devoid of written sources about their history and culture, the Khasis possessed a fairly rich and eclectic repository of folk narratives, which are the treasure-house that have attracted researchers’ right from the colonial period till today. Some of folk stories have tenaciously survived from very remote period of prehistory and they are properly encased in the folk belief system of people. Transcending beyond mere “folk stories”, some of the folk stories are literal enough to provide a comprehensible picture of the people’s history and culture. The current paper will delve into folk story of U Sohpet Bneng hill which is associated with the landscape that is attached to the origin myth of the Khasi community.The aim of this paper is to highlight the major factor which helped to propel the construction of such narrative about the particular landscape and the mechanism which the preliterate society developed for its preservation in the people’s memory. The present paper will be provided with additional input from archaeological evidences, emphasizing especially on the prehistoric settlement system. The latest archaeological excavation which was conducted in one the hills ancestral site at Lum Sohpet Bneng will form the most important evidence for an archaeological analogy on folk narratives. The archaeological evidences unearthed from the small scale excavation along with the AMS dates are expected to provide strong analogy on the temporal and spatial context of the folk narrative of U Sohpet Bneng. |
