Abstract

Appendix Late Harappan-PGW settlements in Ghaggar-Yamuna Divide Manmohan Kumar 259 PREFACE Report publishing is culmination of an archaeological expedition and it is a sheer wastage of money and efforts if an archaeological site goes unpublished. Wheeler has rightly said that every excavation is a destruction because the evidences once disturbed could not be put back at its original place. It makes it imperative for an archaeologist to record the excavations and excavated material properly. This is the first step which distinguishes the antiquarian from an archaeologist. By properly interpreting the recording, other archaeologists can reconstruct the whole deposits which are otherwise lost for posterity. If an archaeologist cannot perform this task "he should better leave archaeology and do something else". Keeping this in mind, this author started excavations at the ancient site of Madina and the purpose of the effort was to explore the link between the Late Harappan culture and Painted Grey Ware culture. Though a link had been first established at Bhagwanpura and subsequently at some other sites. But there remained some unanswered questions as to what was the nature of this link. Whether the authors of both the cultures stayed together despite their distinct cultural milieu and they adopted or shared each other's cultural traits. In the present excavations every care was taken to ensure that each and every antiquity and other features are properly recorded.
