- This 200,000 word volume offers the first extended critical comparison of the earliest urban-focused developments in South Asia, the Bronze Age Indus Valley Civilization and the Early Historic Indo-Gangetic system It reconsiders the ways in which pervasive narratives of continuity and transformation have been constructed within previous analyses of South Asia’s past between c.6500 BCE and 200 CE. The volume reassesses 795 sources on the early archaeology of the entire subcontinent, to re-articulate sequences from India and Pakistan with those from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Iran, Nepal and Sri Lanka Civilization for the first time in one place.
