    Describe the contribution of John Marshall in the Indian archaeology.

    Answer:

    John Marshall is a famous archaeologist who studied Harappan civilization. Marshall tended to excavate along regular horizontal units, measured uniformly through the mound, ignoring the straight lines of the site. This meant that all the artefacts recovered from the same unit were grouped together, even they are found at different layers. As a result valuable information about the contexts of these findings have been found. There are also evidences of seals, toys, games, and stringed musical instruments in Indus valley. This shows that society at that time was civilised.
