Description
The Harappans used various techniques to create their tools — specialised forms of drills, scrapers, cutting knives, sickles and mace-heads. Long parallel sided blades are typical of the Harappan technology. Stone cores that remained after making tools, seen here, show a high polish, and were likely used as burnishers.
