Harappa

The site, known as Harappa, contained evidence of a culture over 1,000 years older than any other yet discovered in South Asia and one which dated back to c. 2350 BCE, making it one of the four oldest centers of civilization in the world.

He declared that it was a site of the late period of Harappa culture [4.9] on the basis of certain pottery types and painted designs thereon and that 'the mere fact that the Indus culture is by this discovery pushed so far s.-e. as Kathiawar is a matter of great importance'.
