Harappa website

This is a terrific resource, it also has photographs showing an archaeologist's work in progress in a sequence of images... http://www.harappa.com

Among the regular contributors to the website is Mark Kenoyer, the archaeologist at the University of Wisconsin who is still engaged in archeological excavation on the Pakistan sites.

For evidence of burial, see
http://www.harappa.com/indus/71.html -- there are also images from Cemetery H on the site, showing transition from burying the dead to cremating the dead and then burying the ashes ...

There are also newsreel clips from the 1940s with short speeches by Jinnah and Gandhi on this same website, and two short clips about the recruitment of soldiers for World War II ...
