Describe the transformation of material culture of the Harappans after 1900 BCE.


By 1900 BCE we find that there are general transformation in the material culture of Harappan Civilization and this phase is also known as Late Harappa.
Here are the transformation:

1. There were disappearance of the distinctive artefacts that were produced during  the mature Harappan phase. For example weight, seals, beads etc

2. We also see disappearance of writing , long distance trade and craft specialisation that were seen during the mature Harappan phase. In general, far fewer materials were used to make far fewer things.

3. House construction techniques deteriorated and large public structures were no longer produced.

4. By 1900 BCE we find that there is an indication of rural way of life. With very poor craft production when compared with the Mature Harappan phase.
