The Indus Valley Civilization was a highly urbanized civilization. As a result there was a large section of the population that was not directly involved in agriculture but instead relied on the farmers in the rural areas for their food, a pattern which is consistent with cities today. In the absence of any scriptural evidence it can only be presumed that the Indus Valley Civilization had trade relations with places as far as Mesopotamia.

Excavated materials in Mesopotamia suggest that they might have had trade relations with Indus Valley Civilization by a sea route since some of the seals have pictures of boats. It can also be suggested that there was trade taking place because the resources required by the civilization were located over a large area. The Indus Valley Civilization people might have used weights and other measures so some of the artifacts discovered seem to be objects used for weighing. An interesting feature is that the weights appear to be based on a multiple of sixteen systems, a system which continued in India until the metric system was adopted.
