Prehistoric India to 1000 B.C. c11.s1.13

c11.s1.13

The same reservations with regard to estimating the size of the settlements which I have already made for the South Baluchistan sites apply of course equally here, but on the whole the average size of the tells is much the same in both areas. Sur Jangal is very small, only about 40 yards across and 16 feet high, and at the other end of the scale is the enormous mound of Dabar Kot south of Loralai, 500 yards in diameter and 113 feet high. As this latter site has as the final occupation a Harappā settlement or trading-post, its size implies a long series of important prehistoric towns on the spot, all apparently earlier than the middle of the third millennium B.C.
