The European Association for South Asian Archaeology and Art (EASAA) has been the preeminent gathering of archaeologists, art historians, philologists and historians interested in South Asia and its neighbors for over four decades. The conferences tend to be lively family reunions, where old friends catch up on the latest developments and new colleagues are introduced to the community. The EASAAs are notable for the breadth of subjects, time periods, and geographic regions covered by the papers and posters, and notorious for the large, often delayed, yet incredibly important conference proceedings volumes that are produced. Editing one of these precious volumes is a Herculean feat, and all the editors of this series should be thanked for their service to the field. The latest EASAA proceedings are split into two volumes: Prehistory and Protohistory (Vol. 1), edited by Aurore Didier and Benjamin Mutin, and the Historic Periods (Vol. 2), edited by V. Lefèvre. This reviewer was sent Volume 1, which includes 23 papers by over 50 authors. The editors chose to organize the book alphabetically by first author, presumably for simplicity’s

sake and to ensure no favoritism. It would be foolhardy to attempt here a review of every paper included in the volume, but a few papers in particular are worthy of note. First, the keynote lecture by the late Jean-François Jarrige (p. 19-33) serves as both an insightful summary of BMAC (Murghabo-Bactrian Archaeological Complex) relations with the Quetta Valley of Pakistan in the late 3rd and early 2nd millennium BCE, but also as a moving reminder of the vast knowledge lost with the passing of such an esteemed scholar. The A. Dupont-Delaleuf paper (p. 81-98) on the Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age ceramics from Ulug Depe in Southern Turkmenistan is notable for its focus on these early periods at a site better known for its Iron Age and early historic layers. However, in this reviewer’s opinion, the chronology proposed by the author for the Chalcolithic periods (e. g., Namazga II dating to 4000-3500 BCE) is too early by half a millennium. It would be interesting to know how she dated these periods, as it affects the interpretation of inter-regional ceramic styles that she quite ably analyses in this paper. J. Lhuillier (p. 155-168) presents a welcome and insightful summary of the painted pottery traditions of the Hindu Kush region of Afghanistan and Pakistan from the Late Bronze Age
