Abstract

The system of burying dead has been in existence since primitive times. When Marshal, some hundred years ago contented that cremation was the only mode of disposal of the dead was taken seriously with all the claims of superior and standardized ceramic tradition, seals and sealing, weighing system, lapidary art, city layout and planning and even distribution of resource. However, later researches into the Harappan Civilization brought to light a system of burying their cadavers. Hitherto scholars like A. K. Sharma, Lucas, Kennedy and the likes have worked on these skeletal remains to report the causes of death as well as the nutrition levels and how well they coped with their injuries. The present paper intends to study in detail paleo-pathological diagnosis and interpretation of diseases prevailing in those times and their treatments, pointing to the possible existence of various medical branches and specialists of doctors.
