| dc.description.abstract | An onshore excavation at Bokhira (Porbandar) on the Saurashtra coast has revealed a late Harappan settlement dating back to the early 2nd millennium BCE. Four trenches were dug in an agricultural land where an occupational deposit was noticed up to a depth of 50 cm. A large amount of pottery and other antiquities similar to those reported from other late Harappan sites of Saurashtra have been found. Chronology of human occupation at this site was obtained through thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating of two potshards. The obtained luminescence ages are found to be in agreement with other archaeological findings. The implications of the luminescence ages on the maritime history of the area and the cultural sequences of late Harappan civilization is discussed | |
