Please mark it as brainliest

Explanation:

As pointed out by N. G. Majumdar in 1934, a late phase of lndus civilization is illustrated

by pottery discovered at the upper levels of Jhukar and Mohenjo-daro. However, it was the

excavation at Rangpur which revealed in stratification a general decline in the prosperity

of the Harappan culture. The cultural gamut of the nuclear region of the lndus-Sarasvati

divide, when compared internally, revealed regional variations conforming to devolutionary

tendencies especially in the peripheral region of north and western lndia. A large number of

sites, now loosely termed as 'Late Harappan/Post-urban', have been discovered. These sites,

which formed the disrupted terminal phases of the culture, lost their status as Harappan. They

no doubt yielded distinctive Harappan pottery, antiquities and remnants of some architectural

forms, but neither town planning nor any economic and cultural nucleus. The script also

disappeared. ln this paper, an attempt is made with the survey of some of these excavated

sites and other exploratory field-data noticed in the lndo-Pak subcontinent, to understand the

complex issue.of Harappan decline and its legacy

Answer 2

In this question, we need to answer which historian researched that there was a decline in the trade of Harrapan civilization.

• According to Shereen Ratnagar, one of the causes of the demise of the Harappan civilization was the reduction in the commerce of lapis lazuli with Mesopotamia.
• Climate change, according to many academics, is what led to the fall of the Indus Valley Civilization. While some scientists conclude that a major flood occurred in the region, others contend that the main cause of climate change was the drying of the Saraswati River, which started approximately 1900 BCE.
• The following significant changes testified to the downfall of the civilization:
• The disappearance of pottery, distinguishing beads, seals, and writing.
• The use of local weights in place of the standardized weight system.
• Cities' decline and abandonment
• The Harappan Civilization's downfall was attributed in large part to the Aryan invasion.
