Hence, it is vital to sort out the origins of the Vedic Aryans if we are to establish the true linguistic identity and religious affinity of the Indus civilization. Fortunately, the prospect for settling this vexed question has recently improved with the advance of archaeological excavations in Central Asia—where a major new Bronze Age civilization (Bactria and Margiana Archaeological Complex, BMAC, or the Oxus civilization), was discovered in the 1970s—and in Eurasia, including Russia. Archaeological cultures have long been correlated with linguistic and ethnic groups.
Archaeological knowledge is required not only for comprehending the Indus civilization but also the evidence for Aryan migrations into India. Since the early 1970s (Parpola 1974), I have tried to gain a better understanding of how the emergence and dispersal of the Indo-European and Uralic (Finno-Ugric) language families are reflected in the archaeological record—for the prehistory of the Indo-Iranian languages involves both of these language families. I have learnt a lot from J. P. Mallory’s important book, In search of the Indo-Europeans (1989), and from close collaboration with Christian Carpelan, a Finnish archaeologist specializing in northern and eastern Europe (Carpelan & Parpola 2001).
