Harappan find

Muzaffarnagar, Aug. 25 (PTI): A mummified body, wearing copper

bracelets, some pottery and other artefacts dating back to the Harappan

civilisation 3,000 years ago, have been found at a village in Baghpat

district.

 

The body, caked in mud and dirt, was found by the Archaeological Survey

of India during an excavation at Sinoli.

 

Archaeologist Dharamveer Sharma, who is supervising the dig, said the

shape of the artefacts and the inscriptions they bore indicated that

they could be 3,000 years old, though tests like radio-carbon dating

had yet to be conducted.
