The site of Harappa was one of the major urban centres of the ancient Indus civilization. Recent excavations have revealed traces of an early settlement, a transitional development, and several phases of full urban and post-urban occupation. The results presented here coupled with the general observations of past excavations make possible a better understanding of the city of Harappa in the broader context of Indus Culture; how and why the settlement grew and expanded; and how the city was organised. The eleven chapters in this volume offers a major contribution to the archaeology of complex societies.

This book approaches the archaeology of the Harappan culture of Pakistan and India from the view point of the early state. It attempts to tease out information on the mobilization of labour, the organization of production,the direction of overseas trade by a newly formed elite, and the management of scarce water resources by the rulers. It discusses the environment and productivity of the culture, the sequence of excavations, early ideas of the civilization as quintessentially Indian, evidence for warfare and the hand of the state behind certainkinds of settlement morphology and artefactual equipment. It asks whether the residents of Mohenjo-darolived in kin-group clusters, and attempts to explain, through cross-cultural analogy, why the citadel sites arelocated where they are. A new idea on sailing routes is tentatively suggested, and it is argued that it was eliteintervention and management that secured both floodwater supplies at Dholavira and some degree of urbansanitation at Mohenjo-daro. Multiple views of the reasons for the end of the civilization are discussed in thefinal section of the book.

This book offers a critical synthesis of the archaeology of South Asia from the Neolithic period (c.6500 BCE), when domestication began, to the spread of Buddhism accompanying the Mauryan Emperor Asoka's reign (third century BCE). The authors examine the growth and character of the Indus civilisation, with its town planning, sophisticated drainage systems, vast cities and international trade. They also consider the strong cultural links between the Indus civilisation and the second, later period of South Asian urbanism which began in the first millennium BCE and developed through the early first millennium CE. In addition to examining the evidence for emerging urban complexity, this book gives equal weight to interactions between rural and urban communities across South Asia and considers the critical roles played by rural areas in social and economic development. The authors explore how narratives of continuity and transformation have been formulated in analyses of South Asia's Prehistoric and Early Historic archaeological record.
