Who among the following was not associated with the excavation of Harappa and Mohenjodaro?

Explanation

In 1921, Dayaram Sahni started large-scale excavation work at Harappa. From 1926–27 to 1933–34, Madho Sarup Vats remained associated with the excavation work at Harappa. Mohenjodaro was first discovered in 1922 by Rakhaldas Banerjee, who drew attention to its archaeological importance. Besides them, some other scholars—K.N. Dikshit, Ernest Mackay, Aurel Stein, A.N. Ghosh, J.P. Joshi, etc.—also made important contributions to the study of this civilization. Thus, it is clear that V.A. Smith was not associated with the excavation work related to the Harappan Civilization; rather, he was famous as an Indologist and historian.
