It cannot be denied that although the majority of the Indus valley sites are situated on the bank of navigable rivers, yet artefacts connected with boats and navigation from among the archaeological finds have not been discovered. Circular stones of various sizes (1/2" to 4' in diameter) with central hole have been found at Harappa and Mohenjodaro. Such stones are conspicuously absent from the sites at Chanhudaro. The large ringstone with heavy weights might have been used as anchors for boats.
