The Indus Civilization c5.60

c5.60

First must be mentioned a large structure at Harappa partly excavated by Rai Bahadur Daya Ram Sahni in 1924-5 and from then until 1928-9 by Mr. M. S. Vats, but of which no plan or detailed description has as yet appeared except in annual reports. This building, which has suffered considerably at the hands of brick-robbers, contains in its eastern portion twelve parallel walls, each about fifty-two feet long, arranged in pairs at intervals of some seventeen feet, with roughly five feet distance between each pair. The walls are in two series, a western and an eastern, divided by a broad way about twenty-three feet across.
