Welcome to The Harappan Tradition!

The Harappan Tradition is web-based attempt at an evolutionary ethnological synthesis of the cultural phenomena known variously as the Indus Valley or Harappan Civilization.  What I mean by evolutionary is that as I read I will continually rewrite sections and re-synthesis the data. I want this to be a universal volume which will almost immediately reflect changes in our understanding of the Harappan Tradition.

 I will begin by dumping notes and short sections from old papers onto the Harappan Tradition categories below. At first I will make little attempt to organize the information, when the information reaches critical mass I will write a proper description.

Please comment as often as possible.  If I say something stupid please say so. If I miss a reference tell me. I need all the help I can get. See Updates.

Communities & Forums

Archaeology is a science, and as in other sciences discussion with others is fundamental. These are a few forums which concern themselves with the Harappan Tradition.

In the coming year, I hope to start my own community populated only by serious students.
