A brief account of the revolt in Balochistân, an episode merely of the great political drama enacted west of the Indus, as described by one of the first Europeans to write about Harappa. >
An exceptional, beautifully illustrated book of over 200 pieces in the Japanese Katolec Corporation collection of pottery and associated art of the pre- and contemporary to ancient Indus Nal and Kulli cultures of the 3rd millennium BCE Balochistan. The photography is excellent, the specimens extraordinary. >
"The collection was seized on June 11th, 2005 in the customs building of the Karachi sea port. In cases like that, the custom officers fill in a form requesting the examination of the artefacts by a competent authority who will receive this consignment." >
This is an unusual book, a combination of two types of work. One is the record of a trip along the Makran coast of Baluchistan when Pakistan was a new country with a fledgling archaeology department splintered from the Archaeological Survey of India. The second is the excavation record at Sutkagen Dor, the westernmost known ancient Indus site. >
