The brick dockyard of LOTHAL with its massive embankment walls measuring 212·4 m on the w., 209·3 m on the e., 34·7 m on the s. and 36·4 m on the n. is a unique structure. In the early Chalcolithic \[4.14.6\] contexts at INAMGAON an embankment wall, 2·2 m wide, of rubble set in mud mortar has been traced to a length of 240 m. This formed part of a tank which was provided with a feeder channel connected to the river close by. - [Previous: v1.c19.s13.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s13.5) - [Next: v1.c19.s14.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s14.2) - [Up: v1.c19.s14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s14) ## Linked texts (2) - [Lothal](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.lothal) - [Inamgaon](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.inamgaon) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s14.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s14.1) · Pramāṇa
