The Anthropological Survey of India has received human skeleton remains that were excavated in Rakhigarhi, Haryana, for further scientific study.
The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and the Anthropological Survey of India recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding that governs the transfer. Multidisciplinary research into one of the most significant urban centers of the Indus-Saraswati Civilization is anticipated to greatly develop as a result of this action.
Eight burials were discovered at Mound No. 7, a location that had previously been designated as a cemetery, during ASI’s 2025–2026 field season digs. The Anthropological Survey of India’s ancient human skeletal repository and laboratory in Kolkata has received three full human skeletons and skeletal fragments found in other sites for in-depth analysis. In a few days, the remaining skeletal materials collected at these locations should also be transported.
The largest known settlement of the Indus-Saraswati Civilization is Rakhigarhi, which is located in Haryana and covers an area of about 550 hectares.
Evidence of continuous occupation from the Early Harappan to the Mature Harappan periods has been found during archaeological digs. This evidence includes organized communities, drainage systems, centers for the production of crafts, trading networks, and burial grounds.
