As in other ancient pre-historic sites, buildings at Mohenjo-daro have been discovered in different strata. The loftiest mound rising some 72 feet above the surrounding country (and 227 feet above the mean sea-level) is crowned by the Buddhist tope and monastery. Below this earliest Buddhist pavement the lowest point so far reached goes down to a depth of 40 feet. Within this space seven different strata have been exposed, each stratum containing different kinds of structures built of kiln-burnt bricks.
