Which sites in Gujarat had variations in the layout of Harappan settlements? |
Dholavira and Lothal Harappa and Mohenjodaro Kalibangan and Banawali Shortughai and Cholistan |
Dholavira and Lothal |
Although the majority of Harappan settlements exhibit a common layout with a smaller elevated western part and a larger lower eastern section, there exist variations in some sites. Dholavira and Lothal, located in Gujarat, stand out as examples where the entire settlements were fortified, and additional walls separated different sections within the towns. While the Citadel in Lothal was not enclosed by walls, it was constructed at an elevated height. |
