All the structures and levels mentioned so far were associated with a typical undifferentiated Harappā culture. But above these remains on Mound II were relics of another culture which had already been identified at Jhukar and elsewhere in Sind. The "Jhukar" folk occupied the Chanhu-daro mound "after it had been deserted by the Harappā people; indeed, they took up residence in some of the deserted houses of the (latest) Harappā period, after raising the walls in many cases with generally indifferent masonry constructed with Harappā bricks. The poorer people, however, seem to have lived in square or rectangular huts of matting which they paved with broken brick; their fireplaces they made outside their huts with low roughly built walls to protect them from the wind.”¹ Where these intruders came from is not yet known. Their arrival would appear to have been separated from the departure of the Harappans by no long interval of time.
