"There is no evidence for an invasion or mass migration of new peoples from outside which destroyed the networks of the Integration Era. Instead, there is evidence in the form of both artefacts and structures which demonstrates that there was a degree of continuity, although the form, scale and patterns of human communities and their settlements altered; or as many researchers describe it, there was a distinct transformation…… Indeed, Sankalia’s statement of 1962 still remains valid, that despite almost a century of investigations, “we have not found anything “Aryan” on the ruins of the Indus Valley Civilisation” (Coningham and Young 2015)"
