The excavations at Bhirrana in Fatehabad district of Haryana by the Excavation Branch – I, Nagpur, Archaeological Survey of India for three consecutive field seasons from 2003 to 2006 under the direction of L.S. Rao has brought to light the genesis and developmental stages of the true urban character of the Harappan civilisation beginning from a nascent rural set up in the form of the Hakra Wares Culture passing through the Early Harappan and Early Mature Harappan periods in an unbroken, vertically evolving sequence finally blooming into the First Urbanisation of the third millennium BCE
