This publication is a collection of the papers presented at the International Seminar on Current Research on the Indus Civilization held at Kansai University on June 8, 2018, which includes four papers by the scholars who participated in the seminar. The study on the Indus Civilization has a history of almost 100 years since its discovery at Harappa and Mohenjodaro in the early 1920s. Since then, a number of studies and researches have been conducted by numerous scholars and many issues have been raised to understand this ancient civilization. In the early phase of studies, the external origin and connection with the Mesopotamian Civilization were emphasised. With an increasing number of excavations, cultural developments in the Greater Indus Valley region itself were successfully traced leading to the emphasis on the indigenous developments of this civilization. Recent researches focus on a diverse range of issues including palaeo-environmental reconstruction. The research methods used in fields have also become diverse introducing digital technologies in recent years. While our understanding on the Indus Civilization has become profound by the tremendous efforts by scholars from many countries including India and Pakistan, a number of problems and issues to be solved and investigated are in our hand. To develop better understanding of this civilization, it is crucial to address problem-oriented issues, to develop updated research methodology and to share the results of researches among scholars and those who are interested in this field. The contributors to this volume are all working in fields to obtain and analyze primary data, and to present their works and data to the academic society. Dr. Vivek Dangi has been conducting a number of surveys in the Ghaggar valley which covers the modern states of Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan of India. He presents a general view on the Indus sites in the Ghaggar valley based on his fieldworks in this volume. Dr. Rajesh S.V., who also has been engaged in many surveys and excavations in Gujarat, overviews the history of researches at the Indus sites in Gujarat and presents the current understanding on the Indus archaeology in the region. Dr. Gregg Jamison examines the stylistic features of the Indus-style seals to see the interregional connections of the Indus urban society. Dr. Takekazu Nagae, a metallurgist, who has broad interests in ancient metallurgy in various parts of Eurasia, has recently been conducting a research on copper/bronze objects of the Indus period and Iron Age in South Asia. I, Akinori Uesugi, has been parts of many projects in India and Pakistan and has been attempting to develop an integrated view towards the socio-cultural developments in the South Asian Bronze and Iron Ages. My article in this volume overviews the current state of the material cultural studies in the Indus archaeology.
