Ø Mohenjodaro, a very special tank, which archaeologists call the Great Bath, was built in this area.
Ø Evidences of fire altars are found in Lothal and Kalibangan towards the Late Harappan phase, showing presence of immigrants.
Ø
Mohenjodaro, Harappa, and Lothal
had elaborate store houses.
Ø
Cotton
was probably grown at Mehrgarh from about 7000 years ago.
Ø
Actual pieces of cloth
were found attached to the lid of a silver vase and some copper objects at
Mohenjodaro.
Ø
The Harappans probably got copper
from present-day Rajasthan, and even from Oman in West Asia.
Ø
Copper to
produce bronze, may have been brought from present-day Afghanistan and Iran.
Ø
Gold
could have come all the way from present-day Karnataka, and precious
stones from present-day Gujarat, Iran and Afghanistan.
Ø
We know from remains of plants that the Harappans
grew wheat, barley, pulses, peas, rice, sesame, linseed and mustard.
Ø
A new tool, the plough, was used to dig
the earth for turning the soil and planting seeds. While real ploughs, which
were probably made of wood, have not survived, toy models have been found.
