3067(or 3102)BCE would fall in The Early Harappan Period (3200-
2600) of Possehl's massive "Indus Age, the Beginnings" (1999). He
lists 57 sites of the Kot-Dijian Phase in the lower and 156 of the
Sothi-Siswal Phase in the upper Sarasvati region, but maybe you know
of nearly 2000 more. They seem to record fairly simple village or
migratory herding-farming life, and I'm eagerly awaiting your
demonstration that they could accomodate the society depicted in the
Mahabharata.
