AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
The author compares faunal remains from Harappa, Mehrgarh, and Nausharo. The sites date from the Indus Neolithic through Mature Indus periods; only data pertaining to the Mature Indus are relevant to this collection. Differences between regions suggest different breeds were favored. At Harappa, the focus is on faunal remains collected from a street on the south of Mound E.
