The short article evaluates the possible impacts of the Late Antique Little Ice Age (LALIA)—a long cooling period that occurred between 536 and 660 CE in the adjacent regions of Inner Asia (Büntigen et al. 2016; Whittow 2019). The high mountain valley of Swat in Pakistan potentially experienced a collapse of agro-production with dramatic implications for the Buddhist society, which began a long and inexorable decline around the mid-6th century.

Abstract
The short article evaluates the possible impacts of the Late Antique Little Ice Age (LALIA)—a long cooling period that occurred between 536 and 660 CE in the adjacent regions of Inner Asia (Büntigen et al. 2016; Whittow 2019). The high mountain valley of Swat in Pakistan potentially experienced a collapse of agro-production with dramatic implications for the Buddhist society, which began a long and inexorable decline around the mid-6th century.
