Bara
c9.s3.t5.1
The work at the nearby mound of Bara is very briefly noticed. As mentioned earlier it consists principally of the very late Harappan phase. Some pottery forms are new, whereas there is diversity in slips and paintings,¹⁶ which is not found in the lower levels at Rupar: large water-jars and cooking vessels, and bare horizontal or wavy incised lines,¹⁷ a feature which is supposed to be present in the Harappan sites in Bikaner, but unknown at Harappa and Mohenjodaro.
