Abstract
At a meeting last week, three independent teams offered preliminary evidence that the Ghaggar-Hakra River system was at most a modest seasonal stream during and after the Indus flourished from 2500 B.C.E. to 1900 B.C.E., which may prompt a re-evaluation of how Indus peoples acquired water for agriculture.
