Archaeological findings on the Sahibi River have confirmed habitations on its banks before the [[Harappa]]n and pre-[[Mahabharata]] periods. Both handmade and wheel-made earthenware dated from 3309–2709 BCE and 2879–2384 BCE has been found on the banks of the Sahibi River at Jodhpura. [[INTACH]]-Rewari found pottery on the Sahibi riverbed at [[Hansaka]] in the Rewari district. A red stone statue of [[Vamana]] Dev was found in the Sahibi riverbed near Bawal in 2002; the statue is now displayed at the Shri Krishna Museum, [[Kurukshetra]].{{citation needed|date=January 2014}} Other artifacts discovered in the Sahibi River include arrowheads, fishhooks, appearheads, awls, and chisels.<ref>A History of Ancient and Early Medieval India from the stone age to the 12th century, Pearson 2009, page 116</ref>

{{See also|Drishadvati River}}
Several modern scholars identify the old [[Ghaggar-Hakra River]] (of which Tangri river is a tributary) as the [[Sarasvati River]] and the [[Sahibi River]] with the [[Drishadvati River]] of [[Vedic period]], on the banks of which [[Indus Valley Civilisation|Indus–Sarasvati Civilisation]] developed. such scholars include Bhargava<ref>"Location of Brahmavarta and Drishadwati River is important to find earliest alignment of Saraswati River", Sudhir Bhargava, International Conference, 20–22 Nov. 2009, "Saraswati-a perspective" pages 114–117, [[Kurukshetra University]], Kurukshetra, Organised by: Saraswati Nadi Shodh Sansthan, Haryana.</ref> The [[Drishadwati]] River formed one border of the [[Vedic]] state of [[Brahmavarta]] and was mentioned in the ''[[Rigveda]]'', the ''[[Manusmriti]]'', and the ''Brahmin Granths'' texts.
