The normal building material employed was stone, ranging from rough rubble masonry set in mud mortar to the carefully squared shale and sandstone ashlar blocks, arranged in decorative courses and brought from at least 2 miles distant, at the type-site. A somewhat similar use of stone is seen at Adasta-jamb, which, surface finds suggest, is of the Kulli Culture. Mud bricks (of unspecified sizes) were apparently used in addition to stone at Mehi, while a wall of the latest occupation-level at Shahi-tump had stone foundations and an upper structure of mud bricks each 19 by 10 by 3 inches.
