The two primary materials discovered in the assemblage at Lohoma Lal Tibba are nodules and sherds. The largest concentrations of nodules are on the south mound as shown on Figure 10. At Harappa, these highly vitrified nodules, often combined with ash were used as fill or foundational materials in residential buildings. Their higher densities on the south mound (over 25 kilo… >

Seven radiocarbon determinations can be correlated with the above sequence, including those from non-cultural levels. They are the first dates for this region with which to reconstruct environmental conditions before the onset of settlement. At Lohoma Lal Tibba, three are from a test trench and one from a pyrotechnical feature on the south mound and a carbon deposit on th… >

As discussed in the above, central to the research was a robust program of the collection of organic sediments and carbon. The latter have been discussed in the context of cultural deposits at Vainiwal and Lohoma Lal Tibba with respect to the onset and duration of settlement. This discussion of the radiocarbon dates follows the order of the location of Beas related archaeo… >

A project of remote sensing utilizing Corona Declassified and Satellite Imagery was designed to integrate ground collected survey with remote sensing data in order to enhance our picture of the Beas regional landscape. Utilization of Corona imagery has been a successful approach to observing relict settlements and river channel changes in order to reconstruct human-environm… >

The results of the Beas study demonstrate the utility of our methodology. We currently are working on a finer-grained chronological analysis in which the environmental data are integrated in a larger regional perspective. Documentation of site contours, features and material remains will provide a baseline for future research, which we hope will constitute a lasting legacy tha… >

The results of the survey have marked the transition from a natural to humanly engineered regional landscape at the Beas settlements. The alignment of the pre-urban and urban sites along the ancient river bed, coupled with the evidence of a continuous vertical f… >
