Explanation
According to archaeological findings from the Indus Valley Civilization, terracotta models of the plough have been discovered at Banawali (Haryana, India) and at sites in Cholistan (Pakistan). These models provide direct evidence of the use of the plough in Harappan agriculture.

- Lothal: Known for its dockyard, bead-making factory, and maritime trade.
- Harappa: Known for its granaries, cemetery R-37, and being the first site discovered.
The discovery of these models at Banawali, alongside the evidence of furrows at Kalibangan, confirms that the Harappans practiced advanced agriculture using animal-drawn ploughs.
