Banawali
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Banawali (Devanagari: बन्वालि) is an Indus Valley site in Hissar, Haryana, about 120 km northeast of Kalibangan. It was excavated by Bisht.
The earlier bricks in Banawali had the "Kalibangan" ratio of 3:2:1, but later bricks had the ratio 4:2:1. One weight was found that weighted 87.855 grams, about 100 times 0.857 gram (a more common weight in Harappa). A touchstone bearing gold streaks was found, which was probably used for testing the purity of gold (a technique that is still being used).[1]
