The Indus Civilization used a still-undeciphered writing system found mainly on seals, tablets, pottery and other small objects. Harappan seals combine short inscriptions with animal motifs and probably played roles in identity, administration and exchange.
Harappan cities supported highly skilled craftspeople and wide trade networks. Beads, shell objects, pottery, metals and standardized weights reveal both specialized production and strong systems of exchange within the Indus world and beyond.
Harappa and Mohenjo-daro were two major urban centres of the Indus Civilization. Their streets, brick buildings, drainage systems and public structures reveal a highly developed tradition of urban life.
The religion of the Indus Civilization cannot be reconstructed with certainty because its script remains undeciphered. Archaeologists therefore rely on seals, figurines, unusual structures, burials and symbolic motifs, but many older interpretations remain debated.
The Indus Civilization was spread across a vast region and included many important settlements beyond Harappa and Mohenjo-daro. Dholavira, Lothal, Kalibangan and Rakhigarhi each reveal different aspects of Harappan urban life, trade, farming, water management and regional diversity.
Harappa, Mohenjo-daro, Dholavira, Lothal, Kalibangan, Rakhigarhi and several smaller sites reveal different aspects of the Indus Civilization. For exams, the key is to connect each site with its location and distinctive archaeological discoveries.
After about 1900 BCE, the Mature Harappan urban system changed significantly. Large cities declined, long-distance networks weakened and settlement patterns shifted, but the civilization did not disappear suddenly. Archaeology increasingly points to a long transformation involving climate stress, changing rivers, local floods, economic disruption and migration.
The discovery of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro in the early twentieth century revealed a previously unknown Bronze Age urban civilization. This topic explains how the civilization was recognized and how archaeologists divide its long history into Early, Mature and Late Harappan phases.
