Which of the following features is not characteristic of the Indus Valley Civilization (Harappan Civilization)?
Use of iron tools for agriculture.
The Harappan civilization (c. 2600–1900 BCE) is known for grid-pattern cities, covered drains and water management, the Great Bath at Mohenjo-daro and large granaries.
It was a Bronze Age culture – tools were made of copper, bronze and stone.
Iron came into use in India much later (around 1000 BCE, with the Painted Grey Ware culture), so the use of iron tools for agriculture is not a Harappan feature.
Hence, Use of iron tools for agriculture.
