The Mature Indus Tradition was a state-level society without a standing army found in Pakistan and in northwest India from 4600-3900 BP (2600-1900 BC). Subsistence was mainly based on agriculture and animal husbandry. There was a five-tiered settlement hierarchy with regional cities at the top. Large public structures include: massive brick foundation platforms and city walls; waterproof tanks, wells and drainage systems; and buildings called granaries, although their function is unknown. It was a time of regional cultural integration, as seen in art and technology, and of inter-regional and long-distance trade. Seals, sealings, writing, and standardized weights were used, as well as an advanced pyrotechnology evident in ceramic, stone, and metal.
