Notes to Chapter IV

c11.s2.1

The basic account of the Baluchistan pottery was that of Professor Childe in *Ancient Egypt*, 1933, summarized in *New Light on the Most Ancient East* (1934), Chap. IX, and based on first-hand study of the material in India as well as the original reports by Sir Aurel Stein (*An Archaeological Tour in Waziristan and North Baluchistan* (1929) and *An Archaeological Tour in Gedrosia* (1931)) and N. C. Majumdar (*Explorations in Sind* (1934)). My own studies in the light of more recent work, and a detailed re-examination of the original material, are summarized in *Ancient India* 1 (1946), 8–26; *ibid.*, no. 4 (1948), 26–40; *Antiquity*, XVII (1943), 169–182, and, in a more popular form, in *Some Ancient Cities of India* (1945), Chap. II.

c11.s2.2

Sir Aurel Stein’s discussion of former climatic conditions in South Baluchistan is contained in his *Gedrosia* volume, 7–13, 24–25, 113–114. The description of the Lake Manchhar region is given by Majumdar, *Explorations in Sind*, Chap. V.

c11.s2.3

The Quetta pottery is described by me in *Ancient India*, no. 3 (1947), 113–142, and the remainder of the Baluchistan wares in *ibid.*, 1 (1946), 8–26. I have also utilized unpublished material obtained by Majumdar on his last journey in Sind, by the kindness of Mr Krishna Deva, and the account of Tharro Hill is based on my own field-work there in 1943. The Nal cemetery is described by Hargreaves, *Excavations in Baluchistan 1925* (1929), and that at Bampur (Persian Makran) by Sir Aurel Stein in *Archaeological Reconnaissances in N.W. India and S.E. Iran* (1937), 106–110.

c11.s2.4

The story of the Indian merchants at Babylon (the *Bāveru-Jātaka*) is from *The Jātaka*, trans. E. B. Cowell, etc., III, 83. The Rana-Ghundai sequence is described in *Journ. Near Eastern Studies*, V (1946), 284–316.
