Indus Age

Résumé du livre

The book discusses the cultural geography of the greater Indus area and traces a cultural history of the peoples of the Indus Age from the beginnings of the domestication of plants and animals to the threshold of civilization in the area. In so doing, Gregory Possehl constructs an innovative, comprehensive chronology for the region, building on the gazetteer of archaeological sites the author has developed over the past decade. Possehl's discussion of the early Neolithic communities and the early Harappan stage, in particular, represents a significant new contribution to the studyof the Harappan Civilization.
