Gregory Louis Possehl (1941-2011)

摘要

My first meeting with Greg was in 1971 when the Deccan Queen rumbled into the railroad station at Pune. Greg抯 wife and two children accompanied him. His research objective was the exploration of archaeological sites within the domain of the Harappan (Indus Age) Civilization in the state of Gujarat, India. Since that time we have co-authored several publications. Prior to his death in October 2011, he and I had in press in the journal Advances in Anthropology our manuscript entitled, 慦ere there commercial communications between prehistoric Harappans and African populations??His death at the age of seventy, due to heart failure, is a sorrow to his many friends who shared his interests in South Asian archaeology.
