Mohenjo Daro
Définition(s)
- Since the beginning of excavation at this complex of mounds in1921–1922, Mohenjo Daro became the most famous site of the “Indus” or “Indus Valley civilization,” although the slightly earlier work at Harappa provided archaeologists with a type-site and the historical–cultural designation “Harappan.” Even today, the terms Harappan and Harappan civilization are used as synonyms for Indus (or Indus Valley) civilization and refer to remains at Mohenjo Daro and numerous other sites that share recognizable features with Harappa. In fact, during the Bronze Age (ca.2600–1900 BC), hundreds of settlements (some of them quite large) dotted the transborder region of northwestern India and eastern and southern Pakistan.
