Wrong heading[edit]

The heading gives the impression that the list is of Indus Valley Civilization sites, while it is clearly just a collection of everything that has been discovered in various locations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 39.37.147.149 (talk) 09:39, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ideas for fixing this article?[edit]

Gregory Possehl's book Indus age: the beginnings has an exhaustive list (as of 1999) of published IVC sites, also specifying the coordinates, observed cultural phases, and the size of each site. There might be more recent, updated listings somewhere. Maybe in Rita Wright's 2009 book? I can't check either one at the moment but may get round to it some time later.

If the representation of sites in India vs Pakistan is a concern, one could also add a mention, as Fowler&fowler did for the main IVC page, of the "two post-1947 national compulsions" that affected priorities and excavations. (Also tagging Dilpa kaur who tagged this page.) -Avantiputra7 (talk) 12:42, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Move to List of Indus Valley Civilization sites[edit]

This article uses "civilisation" instead of "civilization". This spelling is incorrect. This page should be moved to "List of Indus Valley Civilization sites". Su-ilisu,emebal-meluhha (talk) 20:34, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding is that the Indian English spelling is with an 's' rather than a 'z'. --regentspark (comment) 21:08, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
