Show transcript
Following Harappa's discovery in 1921, another major site was excavated in 1922 at Mohenjo-Daro. They uncovered huge numbers of clay seals, covered in writing and images, along with many pieces of broken pottery. They also discovered large stone circles on which they think the Indus people threshed their crops. They also found whistles and figures of dancing women as well as clay toys and figurines. From these discoveries archaeologists have worked out that the Indus Valley Civilisation was very large and complex.
