Was the ‘dockyard’ at Lothal a ‘dockyard’ or not? An in-depth look at this question in a true multi-dimensional manner is long overdue. This study seeks to revisit the dockyard hypothesis by examining Lothal from a landscape perspective, using advanced techniques such as multi-sensor remote sensing, cloud computing, and digital elevation models.
Lothal was part of an important inland system of navigable pathways that traversed the whole adjoining region, possibly even extending towards Mohenjo-daro.
An absorbing book that brings to the reader in most direct fashion the complexities of living in some of the world's first cities. Dr. Robert Arnott manages to collate the manifold existential challenges inhabitants would have faced and brought them all together for the first time in one place.
