9) For the linguistics, Parpola 1994 (?), not included here, is most
current. I'm not competent to judge its quality, but it seems strong to
me.

Possehl 1982 contains a large number of articles, many by Indian

are reports of regional surveys, indicating a very large number of sites.
This civilization was very extensive. Whether or not they were the same
civilization as that practiced in Mohenjo-daro or Harappa, and how you
define €same€, is kind of another problem.

Rita Wright has done some really good articles on the ceramics. I think
the editor of the collected preliminary reports of the Harappan
excavations is Richard Meadow, who did the faunal analysis. I think it€s
one of the monographs in world prehistory, from Wisconsin.
If you€re really interested in that Aryan question, included in that
volume is a piece on the physical anthropology of the Harappans, which
connects them to larger subcontinent. I forget the main author
(Hemphill?), but Lukacs is a secondary author, and he€s a very good guy
who€s published some excellent, if somewhat technical, stuff on the dental
evidence of the Harappans. Kennedy€s article is very good, too.
39) Wenke, in Patterns in Prehistory (which is a very good introductory
textbook), has a decent section on Harappa, if you already have that
around as a resource. The other stuff is harder to find.
I have a more extensive bibliography if you€re really interested. It€s not
my area of focus, but I€ve done a little bit of work in school here on it,
though I€m getting further away from it.
The best references are:
a) Meadow,
b) Possehl,
c) Kenoyer,
d) Dales,
e) Wright,
f)Lukacs.
g) Wheeler is fun, and useful in a general way, but outdated. There isn€t
actually all that much€it€s kind of hard to do archaeology there.
