One chapter conventionally incorporates a discrete review of the relevant pottery typologies. Details of selective important sites are given for discerning readers. Separate independent chapters deal the art architecture craft activities/specialisations trade and chronology in the light of fresh researches. The volume critically evaluates or enumerates the homogeneity thesis and elaborates upon the heterogeneity enshrined in differential growth of the Harappan civilization. Dynamic forces of convergence and multiplication intertwined to produce the unique cultural ethos with regional variations. The cohesiveness was in the main provided by closely interacting (communicating) diverse settlement matrices. The civilization also prospered in harsher (semi arid) conditions and the concerted agricultural innovations ensured steady supply of even surplus grains. The arrested Harappan urbanisation laced with continued strong rural flavour acted both as cause and effect when viewed as coordinated processes. 320 pp.
