Prehistoric India to 1000 B.C. c12.101

c12.101

Several sites in Southern Sind had stone foundations on which walls of mud brick or of terre pisée presumably stood, to judge by the absence of stone debris on the sites and the continuation of the stone footings unbroken by doorways (e.g. at Amilano, where the footings are clear). Mud-brick walls appear to have existed at Sandhanawallah, while at Sutkagen-dor the outer walls of houses were masonry for at least 5 feet, and the inner partition walls had a 3-foot-high masonry foundation supporting mud bricks. At this site, too, the use of wooden pillars was deduced from the stone bases found in position by Stein.
