Alamgirpur
Alamgirpur (Hindi: अलाम्गिरपुर) is an archeological site of the Indus Valley Civilization that thrived along Indus River (c. 3300–1300 BC) from the Harappan-Bara period, located in Meerut district, Uttar Pradesh, India. [1][2] It is the eastern most site of the civilization. [3]
The site was partially excavated in 1958 and 1959. Typical Harappan pottery was found there, and the complex itself appeared to be a pottery workshop. Ceramic items found included roof tiles, dishes, cups, vases and figurines of a humped bull and a snake. There were also beads and possibly ear studs made of steatite paste, faience, glass, carnelian, quartz, agate and black jasper. Little metal was in evidence, however.
