Represent in the local materials
Hi,
...it developed an extraordinarily precise system of weights and measures, standardized across the empire, represented in the local materials at Lothal.
What does it mean by 'represented in the local materials '?
it seems 'represent' here is an intransitive verb.
But I look it up in my dictionary ,it appears to be a transitive verb.
and none of it fits here?
Would you please help me out?

'...despite the vast area over which the Harappan culture spread, it developed an extraordinarily precise system of weights and measures, standardized across the empire, represented in the local materials at Lothal.'
The sentence seems ill-formed, but what I think is meant that some of the artifacts found at Lothal are pieces of this weights-and-measures system: '...across the empire
