Answers
Harappan civilisation was a Bronze Age culture which has been known to the world for its urbanism. Very special for its planned cities, drainage system and use of kiln bricks for making massive structures.
This was the largest civilisation in geographical extent during its own period. Till now thousands of sites have been discovered. Majority of sites are situated in India.
According to recent discoveries, it has been found that the largest concentration of the Harappan settlement was in the valley of river Saraswati and its tributary Drisadvati. Another significant aspect of this culture was its well developed cottage industry and craftsmanship which had made it one of the richest civilisations of the ancient world. A number of cities excavated from coastal region have great significance in terms of maritime trade.
Lothal, situated in modern Gujarat was a port city where an artificial dockyard was made. Dholavira, Balakot, Alhadino, Sutkakoh and Sutkagendor were other important port cities which had a very important role in contemporary trade. From Lothal, Persian Gulf type seals were also found.
