Consider the following statements regarding the cross-regional maritime seal recoveries in Harappan coastal layers:
1. A unique circular button-shaped stamp seal, diagnostic of the Persian Gulf (Dilmun) trade zone, was excavated from the port town of Lothal.
2. This discovery provides absolute physical proof that Gulf merchants or shipping agents interacted directly with the docking infrastructures of Gujarat.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Question

Accepted Answer

Both statements are correct. Lothal yielded a circular stamp seal made of steatite that features motifs unique to the Bahrain/Persian Gulf littoral (Dilmun culture). Along with clay sealings found on cargo marks inside the Lothal warehouse, it confirms deep ocean-going logistical contacts between the two distinct civilizations.
