Explanation:

Chanhudaro - This is a tiny settlement (less than 7 hectares) as compared to Mohenjodaro (125 hectares), almost exclusively devoted to craft production, including bead-making, shell-cutting, metal-working, seal-making and weight-making.

Traces of canals have been found at the Harappan site of Shortughai in Afghanistan, but not in Punjab or Sind.

Moreover, terracotta models of the plough have been found at sites in Cholistan and at Banawali (Haryana).

Water reservoirs found in Dholavira (Gujarat) may have been used to store water for agriculture.
