The Indus Civilization (Cambridge History of India, Supplementary Volume) c7.1

c7.1

The problem of chronology is an involved one and must be reserved for a later page (p. 84). Meanwhile it will suffice to premise that the Indus civilization was in full flower in the time of Sargon of Agade (in Mesopotamia) whose date is now placed a little before 2300 B.C.; and that the period 2500-1500 B.C. has been estimated as likely to have comprised the material available, without prejudice to such further evidence as may eventually be forthcoming from the unplumbed depths of Mohenjo-daro or Chanhu-daro.
