		A three-year-long excavation at Rakhigarhi in Haryana's Hissar district, has unearthed the remains of what could have been the ``provincial capital'' of the Harappan civilisation.
		To a question on the possibility of identification of the provincial capital of the Harappan civilisation, which had flourishing trade, he said ``among the explored Harappan sites of the Saraswati-Drishadvati valley, Rakhigarhi seems to be the largest, thereby perhaps deserving the status of provincial capital of the eastern extension of the Harappan hegemony.''
		The structures are outlined by two or three courses of mud brick with post-holes at intervals.

		The antiquity of the district is established on the basis of the discovery of the Pre-Harappan, the Late-Harappan and the Painted Grey Ware pottery at various places from the district and the mention of its tirthas in the Puranas corroborates it.
		However, on the basis of the evidence of the nearby pre-Harappan sites like Mitathal (Bhiwani district), Siswal, Banwali and Rakhigarhi (Hisar district), it may be stated that these people possibly lived in mud brick and thatched roof houses, used wheel-made pottery, terracotta and copper-made objects.
		Ritauli, Birbaraban, Pauli (Jind tahsil), and Balu (Narwana tahsil) have yielded pottery of the mature Harappan culture.
