∙∙ The Harappan seal is possibly the most distinctive artefact of the Harappan or Indus Valley Civilisation. Made of a stone called steatite, seals like this one often contain animal motifs and signs from a script that remains undeciphered.
∙∙ Metals were used in other artefacts, but for seals special clay was frequently used. Archaeologists have been able to reconstruct dietary practices from finds of charred grains and seeds.
∙∙ These are studied by archaeo-botanists, who are specialists in ancient plant remains. Grains found at Harappan sites include wheat, barley, lentil, chickpea and sesame. Millets are found from sites in Gujarat. Find of rice are relatively rare.
