The chronology of the civilization and its antecedents has now been established between 3300--;1300 BCE. The settlements show a centralized planning, some with twin sectors. The four important staple crops --; wheat, barley, millets, and rice --; were cultivated throughout the Harappan phase. Domesticated animals, manufacture of pottery, crafts, and seals were other important features of the civilization. Source of Abstract: Provided by Publisher | | Tools: |
