Introduction
As you read in this chapter, little is known of the ancient Harappan civilization. In the 1920s, ruins of the ancient Harappan cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro were discovered, and excavations of those ruins have yielded most of what we now know of the civilization. One of the most important finds was a series of tiny seals, made of stone and measuring about one square inch each. These seals, hundreds of which have been unearthed, give an idea of the animals, landscape, writings, and people of Harappa. To view pictures of the seals and read what archaeologists have learned about them, go to the Harappa Web site.
