But in 1937 a cemetery of the Harappā people was found at the type-site south of the citadel and outside the built-up area of the city, not far from the previously discovered ‘Cemetery H’ of later date than the Harappā Culture and described in the following chapter. The new cemetery, R 37, was further investigated by Dr Wheeler in 1946. It was then established that it was contemporary with the main period of occupation of the city and that it was earlier than the earliest phase of Cemetery H. Fifty-seven graves were excavated in 1937 and in 1946, and a full report is awaited, though the 1946 material (ten graves) is already published (Pl. 4).
