The Indus Valley civilisation may be even older than initially thought

a reply to: peter vlar

Thanks for doing the heavy lifting PeterV, you basically covered my response.


What I take away from these studies, in terms of the site at bihrana, is that the first "west eurasian" component of the ANI arrived much earlier than has been suggested before. And the early connection to anatolia is evident in the apperance of emmer wheat and the practice of animal husbandy, ie goats,sheep and cattle, but they didnt bring their catlle with them they domesticated the local zebu cattle.


BTW Pohssel's work i linked to is a very good synopsis of study into the Indus civ.
