The type site of the Harappan (indus) civilization, Harappa is a major city located in the Punjab, south asia, and is thought to have been at its height between 2500 and 2000 b.c. Harappa was recognized as an archaeological site in 1826, but research had to wait for nearly a century when, between 1920 and 1921, Rai Bahadur Daya Ram Sahni of the Archaeological Survey of India began to explore the site. M.S. Vats continued the work during the time before the beginning of World War II, and after the war, sir mortimer wheeler, during his time at the Archaeological Survey of India, dug for a season in 1946. Another long hiatus in activity was broken in 1986 when George Dales began excavations here.

Jean Carl Harrington, known to his colleagues as J.C. or Pinky Harrington, was one of the founders of historical archaeology in the United States. He was the prime builder behind the discipline both with regard to fieldwork and methodology and in the first attempts to intellectually define and position this new type of archaeology. Like all of his contemporaries, Harrington was trained in North American prehistory, specifically under Fay Cooper Cole at the University of Chicago (1932–1936), although he was somewhat unusual in having a formal grounding in architectural engineering and some prior contact (in 1924) with historic sites in the Southwest.
