The Published Archaeobotanical Data from the Indus Civilisation, South Asia, c.3200-1500BC

The collection of this dataset of published archaeobotanical data from the Indus Civilisation (c.3200-1500BC) was carried out by the author as part of her doctoral work, and has continued up to October 2017. The dataset represents a systematic collation of all primary published macrobotanical data, regardless of their designation as 'crop', 'fully domesticated' or 'wild/weedy' species. The dataset comprises 63 sites and 339 'taxa' (including less confidently identified elements such as 'charred seed'). Data is presented as presence/absence due to different sampling, quantification and data presentation practices.
