The correct answer is

Lothal

The correct answer is Lothal.

Trade Items: Goods traded included precious stones (like lapis lazuli), metals (copper, gold, silver), timber, ivory, beads, and agricultural products. Weights and Measures: The Harappans had a standardized system of weights and measures, which would have facilitated trade transactions. Seals: Seals were likely used for marking ownership of goods or as a form of authentication in trade. The discovery of the dockyard at Lothal provides concrete proof of sophisticated maritime infrastructure supporting this extensive trade network.
