The Indus Valley Civilization was an ancient civilization that flourished in the Indus River basin. Primarily centred in Pakistan and India, it extends westward into the Balochistan province of Pakistan. Remains have been excavated from Afghanistan, Turkmenistan and Iran, as well. The mature phase of this civilization is technically known as the Harappan Civilization, after the first of its cities to be unearthed; Harappa in Pakistan. Excavation of IVC sites has been ongoing since 1920, with important breakthroughs occurring as recently as 1999.
