Talk by Stuart Piggott
'To have recovered two major civilisations of antiquity, virtually or wholly unknown from the written records of the ancient world, is,' says Professor Piggott, 'no bad achievement for archaeology over the past half-century or so.' Reviewing Sir Mortimer Wheeler's supplementary volume to the Cambridge History of India, he talks about one of these recovered civilisations, that of the Indus Valley.
