Answer 2

Explanation:

While the great cities of Mohenjo-daro and Harappa were discovered by Sir John Marshall in the 1920s, it is astonishing that it would be 40 years before another significant Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) site – Lothal – would be found. The discovery of this great port – the only one of its kind – was the result of a concerted effort to search for the IVC’s legacy in India, at a time when India had lost most of the Bronze Age civilisation's sites on the subcontinent to Pakistan.

Post-Partition, in the early 1950s, the Archaeological Survey of India undertook a massive programme of exploration and excavation in western and northern India. What they found was a bonanza.

First discovered in 1954, Lothal was excavated from 1955-1960 by S R Rao of the Archaeological Survey of India. Sites like Lothal, Dholavira, Kalibangan and Rakhigarhi were discovered during this intense phase of post-Independence archaeology. Interestingly, the name ‘Lothal’ comes from the local name of the place, roughly translated to ‘Mound of the Dead’ in Gujarati; Mohenjo-daro, 670 km from Lothal, means the same in Sindhi.

Remarkably, Lothal is home to what is believed to be one of the oldest docks in the world and has many of the features that set the towns and cities of the Harappan civilisation apart from others elsewhere in the world.
