Port
Bhagatrav seems to have been an important port, as Lothal.[2] However, backwaters of sea and floods from Kim river has washed out the site to a large extent and only peripheral area is left for exploration and for eight months in a year, the site is surrounded by water.[2]
The number of lead pieces, many earth samples with rich iron contents, stone beads, evidences of production of glazed ware (pottery) are found. It may have been a trading port contemporary to Lothal.[3]
Significance
It is observed that flood was one of the reasons for decline/destruction of some Harappan settlements such as Bhagatrav,
This is one of southernmost Harappan settlements and the distance between Manda, Jammu (one of northernmost Harappan settlement located in Jammu and Kashmir) and Bhagatrav is about 1350 km.[1]
