Dholavira

Dholavira () is an archaeological site. It is at Khadirbet in Bhachau Taluka from the Kutch District. It is in the state of Gujarat in western India. It took its name from a modern-day village  south of it. This village is  from Radhanpur.

 Signboard 
A large signboard with ten big symbols of the Indus script was found near the north gate of Dholavira. The signs were made from white gypsum and set into a wooden frame. Many scholars think the signboard shows how important symbols were in the city.

A 2025 study by Max Freedom Pollard suggests that the signboard shows the parts of an animal-drawn cart in order.
