Key Points

• The Harappa site was first briefly excavated by Sir Alexander Cunningham in 1872-73, two decades after brick robbers carried off the visible remains of the city.
• He found an Indus seal of unknown origin.
• The first extensive excavations at Harappa were started by Rai Bahadur Daya Ram Sahni in 1920.
• His work and contemporaneous excavations at Mohenjo-Daro first brought to the world's attention the existence of the forgotten Indus Valley civilization as the earliest urban culture in the Indian subcontinent.
• His work was followed later in the decade by that of Madho Sarup Vats, also of the Archaeological Survey of India.
• M.S. Vats first excavated the "Granary," and published the results of his and Sahni's excavations in 1940.
• Excavations by other archaeologists continued in the 1930s, and in 1946 Sir Mortimer Wheeler excavated the so-called fortification walls and found the first pre-Indus Valley civilization (Kot Dijian) deposits.
• After independence, Harappa was excavated by Mohammed Rafique Mughal of the Archaeological Survey of Pakistan in 1966.
• In 1986, the first systematic, multi-disciplinary excavations of an Indus Valley city were begun by the Harappa Archaeological Project (HARP), under the direction of George F. Dales and J. Mark Kenoyer.
• These excavations, now also co-directed by Richard H. Meadow, have continued almost every year since then.
• There is an enormous amount still to be learned about the site, most of which remains unexcavated.
• The earliest deposits on the site go back to 3300 B.C. and the area seems to have been continuously inhabited ever since.
• Archaeologists think that ancient Harappa was the urban center dominating the upper Indus region, much like Mohenjo-Daro dominated the lower Indus Valley and Ganweriwala might have been the urban center for what is now Rajasthan.
