Rahul Siddharthan has a long post Indus:What did Rao et al. really do? with plenty of discussion, comments and links. One of the comments links to Boring No More, a Trade-Savvy Indus Emerges and other articles of Andrew Lawler all of which I missed. Abstract of the article (needs subscrption):
"Long in the shadow of its sister civilizations to the west, the Indus is emerging as the powerhouse of commerce and technology in the 3rd millennium B.C.E. But political and economic troubles dog archaeologists' efforts to understand what made this vast society tick."
Rahul's post and the comments seem worth going through a few times.
P.S. A follow up post by RahulMore Indus thoughts and links
and a recent article by I. Mahadevan The Indus ‘non-script’ is a non-issue
