The remains of buildings discovered at Jhukun, near Larkana (and about half way between Harappa and Mohenjo-daro), consist of ‘over fifty rooms of varying dimensions’ made of sundried bricks. ‘The floor levels of these rooms show a variation of about 5 to 6 feet, resting at places on a foundation of debris and at others on a solid filling of sundried bricks on pure clay.’ ‘A masonry well was exposed on this mound at a level considerably lower than the floor of the rooms.’¹ This may indicate that the buildings whose purposes are unknown were dwelling houses.
