HEALTH AND SANITATION

The Indus people were fully aware of the principles of health and sanitation. Towns people bathed in a bath located in the centre of the quadrangle in the middle of the valley. The Baths were around 49 feet long, 28 feet wide and 8 feet deep. Walls of the pool were made up of burnt brick to prevent the leaking of water. The pool was regularly drained to ensure cleanliness, this was done by draining off used water into a large pipe that led to the outside of the valley. The bath had 6 entrances and all contained stairs that led into the water. This building reflects the engineering genius of those in ancient days.

FOOD AND NUTRITION

By examining the teeth and bones of the Indus Valley people, archaeologists can tell what the Indus valley people ate from the bodies they discover. Archaeologists also search pits of rubbish for animal bones, seafood shells, fruit seeds and other remains of carcass for clues to their diet.

The Indus people raised cattle, pigs, sheep and goats for food resources. The cows provided fresh milk and meat. Farmers grew fruits like dates, grapes and melons and other field crops such as wheat and peas.
