Prehistoric India to 1000 B.C. c8.18

c8.18

Such, then, was the state of knowledge of prehistoric north-west India by the late 1930’s. There were extensive excavations at two major cities and one smaller town in the Punjab and Sind, trial trenches dug in several sites in Sind and Baluchistan, and a fair idea of the geographical extent of the various prehistoric cultures as the result of Majumdar’s and Stein’s explorations. Stein made further discoveries in Rajputana and in Las Bela state in the early years of the 1939–45 war, again adding to our knowledge of the extent of the various types of regional cultures.
