Second urbanization in Gujarat

摘要

The origin and development of first urbanization in Gujarat, i.e. the Harappan Civilization, has been dealt with in great detail, but it has not been done so in the case of second urbanization. Extensive explorations followed by sporadic excavations in some of the early historic sites have brought out vast material vestiges in the form of structures, rock shelters and other remains like ceramics, artefacts, implements, utensils, ornaments, artistic objects and other crafts. These material vestiges are studied to reconstruct the second urbanization in Gujarat
