Wheeler’s discovery in 1946 of an occupational deposit underlying the mud-brick defences of Harappa yielded 30 potsherds, most of them of red, dull or pale red ware, some of them having a straight neck or everted rim (Wheeler in \*AI\*, 3, 1947). There is a thick band of black paint on the neck. Some sherds have multiple grooves. The pottery forms include the vase, straight-sided bowl, large basin, ring-stand and cylindrical cup. Similar sherds occurred in the mud bricks of the defences also, evidently an unintentional collection by the builders of the defences. - [Previous: v1.c9.s8.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s8.9) - [Next: v1.c9.s8.11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s8.11) - [Up: v1.c9.s8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s8) ## Linked texts (1) - [Harappā](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.harappa) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s8.10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s8.10) · Pramāṇa
