Sharma, Madhuri Sharma are doing lot in this direction and they have published several papers and books on Harappan Archaeology. Harappan Civilization was contemporary of Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilization and Harappan traders were having their colony at Ur in Mesopotamia who were having long distance trade with them. Some Art historians have named Harappan Art as Industrial Art, however, this term is most appropriate for seals, shell jewellery, ivory, copper etc items. We cannot call stone, bronze and terracotta figurines as industrial art as these are basic decorative items of Harappan civilization. According to the author and Jaya Menon, most appropriate term for these items is Minor Arts Crafts of Harappan civilization. S.P. Gupta, B. B. Lal and R.S. Bisht were preparing atlas of Indus Sarasvati civilization.
