Abstract
At its largest extent, the Indus Valley Tradition, as defined by Shaffer (1992a; 1992b) incorporated a
variety of regional cultural traditions throughout modern day Pakistan and parts Of eastern Afghanistan
and western India. These regional cultures, although distinct archaeologically, all interacted in a manner
to fashion an integrated archaeological community covering up to one Inillion square kilometres, and
lasting for several hundred years to —3900 BP), before evolving into a number of localised
archaeological traditions. The exact nature of this 'Integration Era' of the Indus Valley Tradition
(Shaffer 1992a) - often referled to as the Indus Valley, Indus-Sarasvati or Harappan Civilisation - has
been the subject of intensive scholarly debate.
