# Indus Valley Civilization Peak

> The Harappan culture at its zenith (c. 2500 BCE) shows evidence of organized ceremonial gatherings, proto-urban festivals, and religious assemblies across the Indus plain.

## Summary

Several periodisations are employed for the periodisation of the Indus Valley Civilisation. While the Indus Valley Civilisation was divided into Early, Mature, and Late Harappan by archaeologists like Mortimer Wheeler, newer periodisations include the Neolithic early farming settlements, and use a stage–phase model, often combining terminology from various systems.
