Abstract
The site of Harappa, located in Sahiwal district, Punjab Province, Pakistan is the longest-studied settlement of the Indus civilization and has contributed significant information on the nature and complexity of this early urban society, beginning with the first major excavations by Madho Sarup Vats in the 1920s and 1930s. It was during these early excavations that the first burial remains associated with the Late Harappa Phase and then with the preceding Harappa Phase were recovered and studied. The pattern of burial in the Harappan cemetery appears to have changed over time and may have varied slightly in different areas of the cemetery. Harappa Phase burials generally included burial pottery and other burial offerings that show some general patterns based on sex and age. Infants and children were not buried with any pottery or ornaments. Adults were buried with pottery, and some also had specific types of ornaments.
