One of the places where the people of the Indus Valley worked, was a place called Lothal, 600 kilometers south of Mohenjo-Daro. Here they built sea-going ships, and a big dock where they did most of their working. From here they would sail out to Persia, southern India, Sumer, and Afghanistan. On their round abouts they would take goods to trade and sell. We know this because we have found things from India in all of these places. The people that worked in Lothal were usually the peasants, merchants, and farmers, and sometimes they would be paid with grain. |

The people of the Indus Valley had a irrigation-based agriculture. Which gave them good soil. They domesticated animals and food. Some of the things they domesticated were, rice, wheat, and barley, and they cultivated dates and cotton. The animals that they domesticated were pigs, horses, camels, and possibly elephants. They were also among some of the first in the world to have kept chickens, and they also had dogs, buffalo, and camels. The people who farmed would produce wheat, barley, dates, and melons as their main crops. They also grew sesame for its oil, and cotton for clothing. |

The ancient famous city, Mohenjo-Daro, had very high quality pots, that they were known for. Some people had jobs like farmers, merchants, potters, beadmakers, metal workers, and so on. Archeologists have found small clay figures that could have been beads of animals. We have also have found toys that the kids from the Indus River Valley could have used. Some of these were bird-shaped whistles, and cows with nodding heads. We also know that these people were very fond of jewelry and and such things. |
