“Bricks, Beads and Bones” explores the urban features and archaeological discoveries of the Harappan Civilisation, also known as the Indus Valley Civilisation. It highlights planned cities like Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, known for grid-pattern streets, drainage systems, baked brick houses, and advanced town planning. The section examines craft production (bead-making, metallurgy, pottery), trade networks, seals, scripts, and burial practices using archaeological evidence such as tools, ornaments, and skeletal remains. It helps students understand social organisation, economy, and daily life in one of the world’s earliest urban civilisations.
