The Archaeology of South Asia from the Indus to Asoka, c.6500, by Robin Coningham and Ruth Young

Abstract

The book review evaluates the book The Archaeology of South Asia from the Indus to Asoka, c. 6500 BCE-200 CE by Robin Coningham and Ruth Young. The volume emphasizes the regional diversity of South Asian archaeological cultures and proposes a long historical continuity between the Bronze Age Indus culture (in present-day Pakistan and western India) and the Early Historic cities of the Indian peninsular subcontinent.
