Concept information
Preferred term
Harappa
Definition(s)
- Since the beginning of excavation at this complex of mounds in 1920 to1921, Harappa has remained the type site for the so-called Harappan Civilization, also known as “Indus” or “Indus Valley Civilization.” During the period from circa 2600 BC to1900 BC, hundreds of settlements, some of them quite large, dotted the transborder region of northwestern India and eastern and southern Pakistan. Each of these Bronze Age sites has its own story, but in one way or another, they all shared a sophisticated and distinctive cultural tradition that continues to inspire archaeological research and impress visitors.
