I enjoy reading many of DavidFrawley'sphilosophical and
spiritual discussions of the Vedas. Hopefully, the historical
aspect and archaeological aspects of Vedic history will
achieve greater clarity as scientific methods are applied to
the records of each of those scientific disciplines. It is
difficult to cross-reference traditions to scientific data.
When such things occur in an objective manner is when IMO the
greatest
advances occur in philosophy, historical understanding and
archaeological discoveries.

That being said, I'd love to see unbiased information, data,
theories, explorations and analyses on the India sub continent
as I believe it to be
one of the cradles of early civilization and scientific
discovery.
I recommend -
In Search of the Cradle of Civilization: New Light on Ancient
India By Georg Feuerstein, Subhash Kak, David Frawley
http://books.google.com/books?id=evOZEWralVMC&dq=gupta+mehrgarh+d-fra...
"In this book, the authors show that the ancient Indians were no
primitives, but possessed a high culture, which influenced the
evolution of the western world."
I've read that book. It seemed to me that the authors were biased
in their presentation mainly it seemed because of all the biases
that Indian history has suffered at the hands of Western European
and American historians. I think their case would be better
served in an archaeological or historical venue to not lean as
heavily on the Vedas without additional objective supporting
evidence. I seems to me that they did make a good case for
reconsidering what we think we know about Indian history (now I
wish I had the book ready to hand to read again as it is now at
home in my library about 1200 miles from my present location).
The link I gave is a Google Book with excerpts.
How can you recommend a book you did not read?
Not so dear Peter,
What an idle way to spend the summer? Do you ever have any fun?
Try Brazilean bossa nova, samba, and dance; live a little.
The question was:
How can you recommend a book you did not read?
But your question was completely misguided; you assumed the worst as
usual.
It is not the truth and I want you to know it.
I read completely the excerpts and I recommend the book.

That means that my question was not
misguided. You did not read the book
so you cannot recommend it and you
obviously cannot discuss it with someone
who did read it.

And you dare to say
"Neither Tom nor Doug contributed much to any
worthwhile discussion of Mehrgarh."
and
"Daryl [...] dropped out for a reason that comes
across as phony."

Next time, please get into the flow of conversation.

Start posting archaeology, since this is sci.archaeology.

--
p.a.

Don't expect people to take you seriously because you show no
knowledge
of what the book is about.

Yet, since you are such a bright researcher, you could easily read the
excerpts to get a clue.

But, that would take homework and an interest in the subject.

So far, you have shown me next to nothing worthwhile.
