v6.c40.s3.6

Traces of three earlier strata, superimposed one upon another, have been uncovered. ‘The surface layer has vertically a depth of about 12 feet. Of the dwellings of this period nothing but a paving of burnt bricks and a few traces of sundried brick walls had survived. At the middle stratum a number of walls of burnt bricks of Mohenjodaro size were discovered. The bottom stratum also disclosed only a few walls of the same type.’³
