Answer» Answer: Textiles are rarely preserved and Harappan figurines are usually unclothed, so there is not much evidence of Harappan clothing. Small fragments of CLOTH preserved in the corrosion products of metal objects show that the Harappans wove a range of grades of cotton cloth. Flax was grown and may have been used for FIBRES (alternatively it was grown for its oilseed). NATIVE Indian species of silkworm may have been utilised for silk (inferior to Chinese silk), as they were a little later in South Asia. It is not KNOWN whether the Harappans raised woolly sheep, but their TRADE with Mesopotamia probably brought them abundant supplies of Mesopotamian woolen textiles. |
