Indus ValleyLoading...
The Indus Valley was developed along the Indus River and the Ghaggar-Hakra River and areas in Pakistan,north-west India and Afhganistan.
The Indus Valley civilization covered a large area-from Balochistan (Pakistan) to Gujarat (Republic of India).
What they wore
Men and women, both rich and poor wore ornaments. Necklaces, fillets, armlets and finger rings were common to men and women.
These ornaments were made of gold, silver, copper, bronze, ivory or shells.
The women wore a type of skirt and wrapped a shawl around their shoulders.
What
they
ate
Their main staples were wheat and barley, which were presumably made into bread and perhaps also cooked with water as a gruel or porridge.
The Harrapans grew lentils and other pulses (peas, chickpeas, green gram, black gram).
What was everyday like in the Indus Valley?
It was very hot in the Indus Valley so many people spent a lot of time outside. Most people had small homes which were also used as workshops. There was not much space to relax.
Richer families had courtyards. These were nice open spaces. Children could play there with toys or with pets, such as monkeys and birds.
People who did not have a courtyard would still have a flat roof. These roofs were strong enough to walk on. Families used them as an extra room. It was a cool place to sleep on a hot night and somewhere you could sit with friends
