This book examines the archaeological and anthropological evidence bearing on the ancient races of Baluchistan, Panjab, and Sind. Drawing upon the results of excavations at Harappa, Mohenjodaro, Chanhudaro, and other sites, S. S. Sarkar analyses the material remains, burial practices, and physical characteristics of the people of this region. The study places these findings in a wider context and discusses their racial affinities and cultural relationships. Originally published in 1964, this work remains a valuable contribution to the study of the Indus civilisation and the prehistory of north-western South Asia. It will be of interest to students and researchers in archaeology, ancient history, and South Asian studies.
