Annual Bibliography of Indian Archaeology for the Year 1932

1934

No funds are now available for the continuance of that lofty task in the discharge of which the Archaeological Survey of Netherlands India has earned the gratitude not only of the indigenous population but of the whole civilized world. [...] The populations of the Nile Valley Mesopotamia and the c6astal regions of the Eastern Mediterranean broke away from the stagnation of the rieolithic peasant culture which had prevailed for untold centuries from the coasts of the Atlantic to the Bering and China Seas. [...] There can be no doubt however that the Indus valley must henceforward be considered as part of the civilized world of the third millennium B. C. In order to -coordinate this new knowledge with the established history of the Ancient Near East we have to fix with some precision the age of the Indus civilzation or rather of that stage of its development which the excavations have revealed. [...] But we can go even further ; certain peculiarities of style connect the seal ag definitely with the Indus civilization as if it had actually borne signs of the Indus script; the convention in which the feet and ears and the folds in the elephant's skin are represented the peculiar rendering of the ears of the rhinoceros are details which recur identically on seals from Moher jo-daro. [...] The use of vertical recessed niches is a logical consequence of the nature of brick architecture ; in Mesopotamia it is used to enliven the outside of temples or.palaces by a rhythmic division of the wall surface or to accentuate a particularly important part on the outside of the building such as the towers *flanking a temple entrance.
