Wikipedia, Mar. 17, 2011 (The Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) was a Bronze Age civilization (3300-1300 BCE; mature period 2600-1900 BCE) that was located in the northwestern region of the Indian Subcontinent; the mature phase of this civilization is known as the Harappan Civilization)
Nayan, S. Techno-typological study of Harappan pottery, 2012: p. 1 (The often used term "Indus valley civilization", Indus valley is not the only or even the main river valley where it grew; for the sake of continuity one may prefer the term "Indus Civilization" the term used by Sir John Marshall, the architect of its discovery; however, the archaeological correct term is "Harappan civilization" after the name of the site where in first excavations; scholars are of the opinion that the more than 1000 Harappan sites have been found near the bed of instinct [sic] river Saraswati, hence the proper name should be "Indus Saraswati valley civilization") p. 3 (pre Harappan to Mature Harappan cultures) pp. 16-18 (the Indus Saraswati Civilization; Late Harappan culture; Indus Valley culture)
