The Indus civilization or Harappan culture (named after the first discovered site, Harappa) is well known for its uniformity and standardization in weights, measures, ceramics, architecture, extended over more than a million square kilometers, an area larger than that of Pakistan today. It spread in the west to Sutkagendor (Makran), in the east to Alamgirpur (Uttar Pradesh), to Rupar in the north and to Bhagwatrav in the south (Gujarat). Whether this uniformity indicates an empire or a trading zone can only be guessed.
