Jonathan Kenoyer's Research on Urban Centers

Jonathan Kenoyer's research on urban centers focuses on understanding early civilization development in South Asia, particularly the Indus Valley. He studies ancient artifacts, city layouts, and trade to uncover how these urban areas functioned, organized society, and engaged in commerce. His work reveals how early cities like Harappa and Mohenjo-daro were sophisticated, with advanced drainage, governance, and social systems, highlighting the complexity of early urban life. Kenoyer's research helps us understand the origins of urbanization and cultural exchanges in one of the world's earliest civilizations.
