The last phase of Indus Valley civilisation is well illustrated in chanhu daro and jhukar, in Sindh. The button seals in these sites are very different as compared to the harrapan seals. Compartmentalised seals were discovered here which are similar to the ones found in northern Iran. The fundamental difference in the urban setup in the later sites is unexplained as there’s no evidence of destruction of the older cities. The administration of the cities seem to be in decline in the later stages. The system of Indus writing came to an end. Overseas trade ended, and melluha was forgotten in Mesopotamia. The urban culture fell apart and was replaced by regional cultures.

What were the reasons behind such decline?
