Formerly it was believed that the extent of Harappan civilization was confined within only the Indus Valley. The Archaeological Department of the Governments of India and Pakistan have unearthed the relics of Harappan culture at many places outside the Indus Valley.
The discovery of new sites of this civilization has superseded the older theory. The relevant excavations have proved that the extent of the Harappan civilization covered an area of 1550 kilometers from north to south and about 1100 K. M. from west to east. It spread from Sut Kanjo Daro in Baluchistan in the west to Alarngirpore in Mirat district in U. P. and from Rupar in Hariyana to the Gulf of Cambay and the Bhagabar Valley in Gujarat.
