The excavations at Harappa in Punjab (Pakistan) conducted by joint USA and Pakistani teams since 1986 have provided much detailed new information on the development, nature, and significance of this large ancient Indus civilization urban center.

The excavations at Harappa reported in this volume were directed by the late Professor George F. Dales, Jr. (University of California - Berkeley) between 1986 and 1990. Since Professor Dales' passing in 1992, excavations have continued as the Harappa Archaeological Research Project directed by Richard H. Meadow and Jonathan Mark Kenoyer assisted by Rita P. Wright in continuing collaboration with the Department of Archaeology and Museums, Government of Pakistan. Other contributing scholars include Gregory L. Possehl, Ronald Amundson, Elise Pendall, William R. Belcher, Heather M.-L. Miller, Seetha N. Reddy, Brian E. Hemphill, John R. Lukacs, and Kenneth A.R. Kennedy.
