Abstract
The author examines a pottery workshop area in the northwest corner of Mound E, dating to Periods 2-3, for evidence of craft specialization and control of production. Comparisons to pottery manufacture at Harappa Mound AB, at Mohenjo-daro, and in Mesopotamia indicate production could be organized in different ways. Only data pertaining to the Mature Indus are relevant to this collection.
