"Of extraordinary interest to students of the Indus civilization... [A] monumental volume."-Antiquity "[This volume] is of extraordinary interest to students of the Indus civilization, since the study aims to achieve a level of analysis quite different from that of any of the earlier published reports on Indus sites... There is a clear discussion of the crafts aspects, valuable because so little has been written on this aspect of the pottery of Mohenjo Daro in the past five decades... No one can question the meticulous labour that has gone into producing this monumental volume."-Antiquity "In the group of publications on the Harappan 'civilization' that have been forthcoming over the past decade this particular study ranks among the most significant... We have in this study a research tool of immense value."-Quarterly Review of Archaeology
