Abstract
This article by R.N. Singh, C.A. Petrie, A. Alam, J. Bates, A. Ceccarelli, S. Chakradhari, S. K.Singh, A. Chowdhary, A.S. Green, E. Lightfoot, A.K. Pandey, A. Ranjan, D.I. Redhouse, D.P. Singh, U. Singh, M.C. Ustunkaya, and J.R. Walker presents an overview of the survey and excavation work at Masudpur I in 2018 that was carried out jointly by the Banaras Hindu University and University of Cambridge under the auspices of the TwoRains project. The site of Masudpur I is situated c.12 km to the west of the Indus city-site of Rakhigarhi. It appears to have been occupied in the Mature and Late Harappan periods. The investigations that were carried out in 2018 included the excavation of a horizontal trench, local-scale surface and subsurface landscape survey, and large-scale settlement location survey.
