Question

write a note on a trade during indus valley civilisation

Answer 1

Dear Student,

The Indus valley civilization depended extensively on trade. Goods were transported by bullock carts and boats for trading purposes. Lothal in present day Gujarat was a major port of this civilization. The Indus valley civilization had trading relations with Mesopotamia, Peria and Central Asia. Goods that were traded included ​terracotta pots, beads, gold and silver, coloured gem stones such as turquoise and lapis lazuli, metals, flints (for making stone tools), seashells and pearls.
