**Alamgirpur** (29°29′; 77°1′), Dt Meerut, 3 km off the left bank of the Hindon, a tributary of the Yamuna, 27 km w. of Meerut and 45 km n.-e. of Delhi. The mound, known as Parasuram-ka-khera, measures about 60 m e.-w. and 50 m n.-s. The Regional Camp Committee of the Bharat Sevak Samaj dug up a long trench here in 1958 and collected such pottery, beads and such other objects as attracted them. While examining this material the author felt that some of the fragmentary objects indicated a possible Harappa affiliation. Accordingly in 1959 he excavated part of the site afresh and also scraped the previous trench (*IAR 1958-9,* p. 50) on behalf of the ASI. Excavation confirmed the suspected affiliation and exposed a sequence of four Pds, all with a break in between. Speaking broadly, the Pds are: (1) combined Harappa [4.9] and BARA; (2) PGW [4.15]; (3) early historical [4.18.1]; and (4) late medieval.
