Claimed to be `the only "current" introductory text on Indian archaeology', this book provides an up-to-date discussion of evidence for the prehistory of India. Beginning with the Palaeolithic period, the discussion progresses to the Mesolithic, the development of organized villages, the Indus or Harappan civilisation, the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods and the Early Historic period. A general introduction to the subject, clearly and concisely written, though with few illustrations.
