How do archaeologists know that cloth was used in the Harappan civilisation?  

Answer:

The discovery of clay spindles suggests that the clothes was used by Harappan. Discovery of buttons and needles at archaeological sites make it sure the clothes were used by them and were also well-stiched. The women of Harappan culture wore both cotton and woolen clothes. The images and terracotta figurins found in excavation suggest that the women wore a short-length shirt which was held at the waist by a gridle.
