444 ANNUAL EEPOET SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1932 



Model animals, some of them with heads made to nod by pulling a 

 cord, balls and elephants of pottery that rattle, clay birds that are 

 whistles, toy carts with pottery wheels and drawn by model oxen 

 there are in plenty; and small boys of those days seem to have 

 played with marbles. Numbers of gamesmen are also found, cut 

 in shell or stone, and ivory throwing sticks and dice. The latter 

 have the numbers arranged on different sides from those on modern 

 dice, but no doubt they served their purpose just as well. 



Many questions still remain to be answered, and a great deal more 

 spade work must yet be done; but there is no reason to doubt that 

 further finds both at Harappa and Mohenjo-daro and at other sites 

 inhabited by the same people, together with the discoveries con- 

 tinually being made in Iraq and elsewhere, will one day give us 

 valuable clues to the race, the language, and the history of these 

 mysterious people of 6,000 years ago.
