Question map
From which archaeological site of Indus Valley Civilization, the figures or models of boat are found ?
Explanation
Evidence of maritime activities and riverine trade in the Indus Valley Civilization is most prominently found at Mohenjodaro and Lothal. At Lothal, which served as a major port and dockyard, archaeologists discovered terracotta models of boats. Similarly, at Mohenjodaro, a representation of a boat was found engraved on a seal (and an amulet), depicting a vessel with a central cabin, a mast, and oars. These artifacts confirm the Harappans' proficiency in boat-making and their engagement in extensive maritime trade across the Arabian Sea. While other sites like Harappa or Kalibangan were significant urban centers, they have not yielded specific boat models or figures like those found at the port-linked sites of Mohenjodaro and Lothal.
