Description
Apart from grains, fruits and vegetables, both sea and freshwater fish, shells and meat possibly formed the Harappan diet. Displayed here are stone axes, sling balls (used in keeping birds and animals away from crops), fish hooks, a pot sherd with a depiction of fish, and a leaf shaped spearhead blade, likely a hunting weapon.
