These documents focus on the Mehrgarh site, with most covering the period from 9000 to 6500 B.P. However, a document by Constantini extends coverage to 4500 B.P. Constantini and Meadow both discuss early agriculture, but Meadow's work also includes pastorialism. Mehrgarh field reports 1975 to 1985 is a collection of reports (edited by Catherine Jarrige ... [et al.]) from each of the eleven years of excavation at the site of Mehrgarh. These reports are written in either English or French and are illustrated and in-depth. They discuss a wide variety of topics including agriculture, burial, ceramic technology, social structure, and regional cultural interaction. Three documents by Jean-François Jarrige provide additional insight into Mehrgarh culture. His Chronology of the earlier periods of the Great Indus as seen from Mehrgarh, Pakistan, discusses the dating of the Mehrgarh site; and in Mehrgarh, Jarrige considers the site in relation to other Middle Eastern neolithic cultures. Jarrige discusses architectural findings in a third document, The early architectural traditions of greater Indus as seen from Mehrgarh, Baluchistan. Two works by Quivron and Sellier are in French. Sellier discusses the neolithic cemetery at Mehrgarh, and Quivron the architecture at the site, including domestic dwellings.

Iranian bronze age (http://ets.umdl.umich.edu/cgi/e/ehraf/ehraf-idx?c=ehrafa&view=owc&owc=MA50)
The Iranian Bronze Age (5000-3500 BP) collection consists of six excavation reports for Bampur, Shahr i-Sokhta, Tepe Hissar, and Tepe Yahya. These sites are important sources for third millennium BC trade which extended from Mesopotamia to Central Asia. The dates of the sites are established through absolute and relative chronology. The excavation reports cover other periods of occupation, the local environment, and geology. The sites are widely distributed across the Iranian plateau. De Cardi analyzes the pottery and small finds at Bampur and sees cultural relations with Afghanistan and Pakistan (Mundigak, Kulli culture and the Helmand and Sistan regions). In Sistan, Tosi's interdisciplanary work at Shahr i-Sohkta found a unexpectedly large and important settlement and necropolis demonstrating evidence of trade in lapulis lazuli and carnelian, imported as raw materials from Afghanistan and finished in local workshops. Tepe Yahya is important for proto-Elamite writing and chlorite (or steatite) bowls which may have originated in the Gulf area. At Tepe Hissar, Dyson's team expanded upon Frederich's earlier excavations to examine the settlement, and presents an analysis of architecture, stratigraphy, and the evidence for craft specialization.
