The Present volume comprises papers presented during the 8th Indian Conference on the Maritime Archaeology of the Indian Ocean Countries held at the National Institute of Oceanography, Goa on 1-2 July, 2013. The conference was organised by the Society for Marine Archaeology to honour the contribution made by late Dr. S.R. Rao (Founder of the Society) in the field of 'Indus Civilization' and 'Maritime Archaeology' on his birth day i. e., 1st July. The focal point of the conference was to bring together a broad spectrum of researchers working on various aspects of Harappan and Maritime Archaeology to a common scientific forum. The collection of the paper presented here is inimitable. There are new forays in many aspects of Harappan and Maritime Archaeology. The compilation will provide the reader with the latest information on the development that has taken place in these fields of research.
