Evidence also points to
the use of domesticated
animals, including camels,
goats, water buffaloes
and fowls. The Harappans
cultivated wheat, barley, peas and sesamum and
were probably the first to
grow and make clothes from cotton.
Trade seemed to be a major activity at
the Indus Valley and the sheer quantity of seals
discovered suggest that each merchant or
mercantile family owned its own seal.
These seals
are in various quadrangular shapes and sizes, each
with a human or an animal figure carved on it. Discoveries suggest that the Harappan civilisation
had extensive trade relations with the
neighbouring regions in India and with distant
lands in the Persian Gulf and Sumer (Iraq).
