Question

What were the differences in techniques adopted by Marshall and wheeler in studying Indus Valley civilization.

Answer 1

• Marshall tended to excavate along regular horizontal units, measured uniformly throughout the mound ignoring the stratigraphy of the site. Due to this techniques valuable information about the context of these finds was irretrievably lost.
• Wheelers recognized that it was necessary to follow the stratigraphy of the mound rather than dig mechanically along uniform horizontal lines.
