Harappan Civilization - Introduction
The Harappan Civilization An Introduction The Harappan Civilization (2500 BCE - 1750 BCE) was a river valley civilization in north-western India which flourished during the Chalcolithic Age . Since most of the sites of this civilization were located on the banks of the River Indus, it is also known as the Indus Valley Civilization . The first site to be found was Harappa (located on the banks of River Ravi, tributary of River Indus), thus it is commonly called the Harappan Civilization. Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Western Uttar Pradesh were part of the Harappan Civilization. Some important sites include Harappa, Mohenjodaro, Suktagendor, Dholavira, Banawali, Lothal, Kalibangan and many more. By James Watford
