DescriptionI got this from a person who had contacts in the antiquities trade back in the 1990s;The general progression of human technology goes something like: stone and bone tools and sticks, stone tools attached to sticks, better stone and bone tools, clothing, agriculture, pottery, metalwork. In the Central and South Asian context pottery began around 3000 BC. Cities started appearing some time after 2000 BC. In Balochistan, southern Pakistan, the early urban culture is called Indus. The northern counterpart is called Baktrian. In the early period they were similar in many respects.Over the decades I’ve been selling collectibles my market has been about 97% coins, 2% paper money, 1% everything else.
