The Harappan Civilization, also known as the Indus Valley Civilization, is one of the earliest urban civilizations in the world, flourishing around 2600 to 1900 BCE in the northwestern regions of the Indian subcontinent, covering modern-day Pakistan and northwest India. It is characterized by remarkable urban planning, sophisticated craftsmanship, and a complex socio-economic system, which together highlight its significance in archaeological anthropology as a key subject for understanding early human societies in South Asia. One of the most prominent features of the Harappan Civilization is its urban planning. Cities like Harappa, Mohenjo-Daro, Dholavira, Lothal, and Rakhigarhi were meticulously planned with a grid-like layout. Streets were laid out in straight lines and intersected at right angles, dividing the city into well-organized blocks. Houses were constructed using uniform baked bricks, often with standardized dimensions, indicating a high degree of civic regulation and centralized control. The presence of separate residential and public areas reflects an understanding of functional zoning. For instance, in Mohenjo-Daro, ____ ______ _______ _____ ___ _____ _____ _______ ______.
