Lothal in Gujarat is one of the most prominent cities of the ancient Indus valley civilization. Located in the Bhal region of the modern state of Gujarāt and dates from 2400 BCE. Discovered in 1954, Lothal was excavated from 13 February 1955 to 19 May 1960 by Prof. S.R. Rao of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), the official Indian government agency for the preservation of ancient monuments. Lothal's dock—the world's earliest known, connected the city to an ancient course of the Sabarmati river on the trade route between Harappan cities in Sindh and the peninsula of Saurashtra when the surrounding Kutch desert of today was a part of the Arabian Sea. It was a vital and thriving trade center in ancient times, with its trade of beads, gems, and valuable ornaments reaching the far corners of West Asia and Africa. The techniques and tools they pioneered for bead-making and metallurgy have stood the test of time for over 4000 years.

The meaning of Lothal (a combination of Loth and (s) that) in Gujarati to be "the mound of the dead" is not unusual, as the name of the city of Mohenjo-Daro in Sindhi means the same. People in villages neighboring Lothal had known of the presence of an ancient town and human remains.
