Answer:
The Indus valley civilization is also called the Harappan civilization because Harappa was the first site to be excavated in the early 1920's.
The Harappa site was first briefly excavated by Sir Alexander Cunningham in 1872-73, two decades after brick robbers carried off the visible remains of the city. He found an Indus seal of unknown origin. The first extensive excavations at Harappa were started by Rai Bahadur Daya Ram Sahni in 1920.
Harappa, Mohanjodaro, Banawali and Dholavira are considered as the four main Harappan Sites.
There are seven important cities in the Indus valley civilization:
1) Mohanjodaro.
2) Harappa.
3) Kalibangan.
4) Lothal.
5) Chanhudaru.
6) Dholavira.
7) Banawali.
