QUESTION 1:

You are to gather at least 3 more images taken by historians/archaelogists of bulidings/sturctures/artifacts found in the Indus Valley Civilisation.
Name then and explain its' possible usuage by the people in that civilisation.

















Great Bath

Use: For religious bathing.


Ancient Indus Valley City Well, Mohenjo-daro, Sindh

Use: To collect water from underground.


Ferry boat on the Indus River near Mohenjodaro


Use:Flat bottomed ferry boats are used even today to help travelers cross the Indus River near Mohenjo-daro.


Corbelled Drain exiting the Great Bath

Use: This drain cuts through the edge of the so-called granary. If the entire drain were constructed along with the Great Bath, this feature would indicate that the original "granary" was built before the great bath.
