I am looking for articles about the Indus civilization. There is one artifact that is of spesial interest. The artifact is the handmade bead. I am looking for articles that can enlighten me both about the production and the perpectives on the aesthetics of the neolithic age in the Indus Valley concerning beads in particular. The beads in the picture are claimed to be Indus Valley beads made during the neolithic age in the Indus Valley. These beads have been found west of Sahara and it is claimed that many such beads were made in the Indus Valles during the neolithic age and came to Africa more that 5000 years ago. It would be interesting to read research on this topic to see if it might support claims like this.
Does this article help at all? https://www.harappa.com/sites/default/files/pdf/BeadTechnologiesSummary.pdf
You're welcome. I might keep looking. Unfortunately most of my contacts focus on the Hudson Valley in New York, not the Indus Valley. Oh well. Looks interesting though. Some of those beads are gorgeous.

Dear Kjartan Skogly Kversoy, Hello, I hope you are fine, Dear you told that this types of beads you mentioned here may be belonged to Indus period but Indus valley is not Neolithic civilization. If this type of beads belonged to Indus period.Dear, you must read the articles and books of Professor Jonathan Markenoyer, an American Professor who worked on the beads of Indus specially Harappan Civilization. Dear If these beads are belonged to Neolithic period i suggest you that you read the book of Cathrine Jaggige who Wrote a book on Mehrgarh a neolithic site which is located in Balochistan.
