At its height, much of the Indus Valley Civilization now spread to what is now Pakistan and northern India, extending west to the Iranian border, south of India to Gujarat, and north to a checkpoint at Bactria, and Harappa, Mohenjo-daro, are spread along the major urban centers of Lotal. , Kali Bangan, Dholovira and Rocky Garhi.

Further excavations were carried out in 1945 by Mortimer Wheeler and his trainee, Ahmed Hassan Dani. The last major excavation was carried out by George F. Dales in 1964 and 1965. Excavation of the exposed structure has been banned since 1965 due to weather damage, and the site has only been approved after excavation, surface surveys and conservation plans have been made. In the 1980s, German and Italian survey teams, led by Michael Johnson and Maurizio Toussaint, used less aggressive archeological techniques, such as architectural documents, surface surveys and local investigations, to gather more information about Mohenjo-daro.
