 Deep within Pakistan and the Indian subcontinent lay the footprints of a once highly developed, complex group of people. During the Mature Harappan period (2600 - 1700 B.C.E.) the Indus Valley Civilization, as they have come to be called, came to be the largest ancient urban society in antiquity. Archaeological excavations have uncovered several artifacts that portray a culture of vast economic wealth and technological sophistication. However, an undeciphered script has only produced more puzzles to an already mysterious society leaving many archaeologists bewildered by their way of life. Throughout this Wiki, our group will utilize and examine material culture in order to provide further insight into the lifestyles and various organizations of the Indus Valley people. **Contributors ** Shainna Ali: The Placement of Women in the Indus Valley Alex Carson: Trade and Economics in the Indus Valley Katie Corcoran: Subsistence Practices of the Indus Valley Civilization Keith Louden: Indus Valley Architecture Beata Vida: The Role of the Physical Environment on Religion and Technology
