**Dher Majra**, Dt Solan, in the SIRSA VALLEY, about 11 km n. of ROPAR, the site measuring about 106 × 91 m in area and 4 m in height, excavated by Prüfer in 1951. The excavation brought to light a twofold sequence of cultures. The first phase at the site is characterized by a true Harappa ceramic industry [11.3] and other antiquities, while the second phase is distinguished by a composite ceramic industry showing affinities with the Harappa, Cemetery H and other red wares which could all be grouped as the late Harappa ceramic complex [11.4] now well known from MITATHAL II B, BARA, etc.
