Editorial Reviews Review "[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
