Synopsis The Special Report No. 4 of the Indian Archaeological Society on `Harappan Necropolis at Farmana in the Ghaggar Basin' a collaborative project of the Department of Archaeology, Deccan College, Post-Graduate and Research Institute, Pune; Research Institute for Humanity and Nature, Kyoto, Japan and the Department of History, M. D. University, Rohtak will be widely welcomed by all those who are working on to unfold still unknown aspects of the Harappan Civilization. The cemetery at Farmana has revealed 70 burials so far and has been assigned to Mature Harappan phase such as Kalibangan, Rakhigarhi or R-37 at Harappa, whereas the burial site at Sanauli which revealed 116 graves belong to a later stage of Harappa culture. The contribution of Farmana and Sanauli has opened a new vista for the study of human skeletal remains at these places as the excavations of burials of this magnitude were not known and excavated so far in India. It has generated enormous data to work on the human population. As worked out by the excavators of Farmana, the sophisticated multidisciplinary investigations of this data, will certainly throw light on various aspects of Harappan population including composition and movement of the people, their dietry habits and burial practices.
