The accidental discovery of Harappa in the early 19th century brought to limelight an otherwise anonymous civilization. We know Indus Valley Civilization only through its location in the Indus Basin or Indus Valley. There is an interesting story around the beginning of excavation of the various IVC sites. Moreover there are many peculiarities attached to certain important IVC sites that are explained in this lesson. The students are advised to watch the map very carefully. This map will act as the foundation stone for basic overview and insight of the IVC during the forthcoming lessons. Although there are some 2500 identified IVC sites, out of which around 1000 are under excavation, only selected 22 sites have been mentioned and discussed here, in this lesson. The students are also expected to notice the important points regarding the sites to avoid unnecessary repetitions during future lessons.
