 * Symbol question.svg (Should be filed under the 12th since that's when it was created.) New, long enough, within policy, no copyvio found via tool, QPQ done. Hook doesn't have an immediate ref in article (see 3b). Please ping me if I don't respond. czar  ♔  15:07, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry about the date, it is corrected. I have expanded the lead with direct text from hook with references. I am not sure if you have access to the Oxford Companion, the following is stated there; Nal ware, both monochrome and polychrome, was found and suggests an Early Harappan occupation (ca. 3200–2500B.C.) as well and The Kulli Complex has been proposed to have been the highland manifestation of the Harappan civilization (2500–2000B.C.). Page 83 of the Jane McIntosh book states that Kulli was related to the Indus/Harappan civilization. This also provides a good reference. If this is not convincing I can change the hook. You have any suggestions? Samar  Talk 16:57, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * No need to apologize. All I'm looking for is the idea from the hook in the article and footnotes on those sentences. I assume good faith that your sources match the text if I can't reach them myself, but right now I just need to see text/citations for (1) Harappans definitely occupied the site, and (2) Kulli definitely occupied it later. czar  ♔  20:09, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Well it is a bit hard to give a reference with the exact wording you are looking for. It is basically a Kulli site so all the references directs to that (Kulli definitely occupied it). The Oxford reference also states there was a possible Harappan occupation (see sentence above). Therefore I will re-phrase the hook to reflect this; Samar  Talk 03:38, 16 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Alt1: ... that the archaeological complex of Nindowari was possibly occupied by the Harappans before the Kulli culture arrived?
 * Alt2: ... that archaeological investigations suggest a Harappan occupation of the Nindowari complex before Kulli culture arrived?
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Either ALT. Hook is cited within article—one source confirms and the other is offline, so I assume good faith. czar  ♔  03:51, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
