Amalananda Ghosh was a pioneering archaeologist who, through his explorations, particularly in the Ghaggar valley (like at Kalibangan), identified sites showing characteristics of an early phase (pre-Harappan) that led directly into the Mature Harappan phase. His work provided crucial evidence for the evolutionary link and similarities between the pre-existing cultures and the developed Harappan civilization.

Amalananda Ghosh’s work was instrumental in establishing the indigenous origins and evolutionary nature of the Harappan Civilization by identifying similarities between its early and mature phases.

Rakhaldas Banerji and Daya Ram Sahni are credited with the initial discoveries of Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa, respectively, under the direction of Sir John Marshall, who officially announced the existence of the Indus Valley Civilization.
