> **********************************************************************
> Ed. note: The news of Greg Possehl's death has been a shock to Greg's
> many friends and colleagues. We may still receive an obituary essay
> on his life and career, but I am copying below a post from Asko Parpola,
> to which I have added a further item courtesy of Michael Witzel, which
> covers most, if not all, of Gregory Possehl's publications. A mere
> glace at the titles and subjects will reveal a measure of how significant
> his research has been in the archaeological study of South Asia. I would
> add also, one of Greg's long term contributions to the field lay in his
> continuing service to the Art and Archaeology Committee of the American
> Institute of Indian Studies. He had similar close connections with
> Pakistani scholars, reminding us that he truly was a specialist not on
> a single country, but on South Asia. FFC
