Solution
The Harappan people had commercial tie-ups with southern and eastern India, Kashmir, and other countries of Asia. They imported various precious stones and other articles. They also carried on trade with Egypt and Crete. Trade was carried on both by land and sea-routes. The representation of a mastless ship on a seal suggests the popularity of the sea-routes.
