How do we know about the Indus Valley civilisation?

Following Unit 16 of the Scheme of Work for the History Curriculum, this wallchart and picture pack addresses the following issues:

How long ago was the Indus Valley civilisation?, Where was the Indus civilisation?, How was the Indus Valley civilisation discovered?, What do streets, buildings and pictures of artefacts tell us about life in Mohenjo-daro?, How and why do we classify evidence in history?, What sort of written evidence is there of the Indus Valley civilisation?, How can the ideograms be interpreted?, How have archaeologists explained the decline of the Indus civilisation?, What have we found out about life in the Indus Valley civilisation?

Sixteen A4 picture cards extend these areas by focussing on some of the historical sources for this period. The accompanying Teacher's Guide contains additional information about the topic and photocopiable activity sheets for children to complete.
