Why is it apt to call the indus valley civilization as harapan culture
  • 1 answers

Gaurav Seth 4 years, 3 months ago

  • The Indus valley civilisation is also called the Harappan culture.
  • Archaeologists use the term "culture" for a group of objects, distinctive in style, that are usually  found together within a specific geographical area and period of time.
  • In the case of the Harappan culture, these distinctive objects include seals, beads, weights, stone blades and even baked bricks.
  • These objects were found from areas as far apart as Afghanistan, Jammu, Baluchistan (Pakistan) and Gujarat.
  • Named after Harappa, the first site where this unique culture was discovered, the civilisation is dated between c. 2600 and 1900 BCE. There were earlier and later cultures, often called Early Harappan and Late Harappan, in the same area.
  • The Harappan civilisation is sometimes called the Mature Harappan culture to distinguish it from these cultures.
  • In 1924, John Marshall, Director-General of the ASI, announced the discovery of a new civilisation in the Indus valley to the world.
