AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Excavations on Mounds AB, F, and E at Harappa were undertaken in order to clarify transitional episodes and changes in settlement organization (including the interrelationships between sections of the urban center), for a period extending from its initial occupation during period 1 through its decline in periods 4-5; only parts pertaining to the Mature Indus are relevant to this collection. Eleven radiocarbon dates are presented, along with stratigraphic profiles, plan views, and drawings of inscriptions.
