Which one of the following cities of the Indus Valley Civilization was mostly devoted to craft production, including bead making, shell shearing, metalworking, seal making, and weight-making?
Chanhudaro
The correct answer is Chanhudaro.
The materials used were sourced from various regions, both local and distant (e.g., lapis lazuli from Afghanistan, carnelian from Gujarat), demonstrating extensive trade networks. The finished products, such as beads, seals, and metal objects, were not only used locally but were also important items for trade, contributing to the wealth and interconnectedness of the civilization. The specialization seen in sites like Chanhudaro allowed for efficient production and potentially high-quality goods, catering to demand across the vast extent of the Indus realm and beyond.
