The walls were made of black earth with their foundations in the black soil. The shortest extant exposed wall was 45 cm long and 43 cm broad and the longest, lying n.-s., was traced to a length of 33 cm, its thickness varying from 30 to 50 cm. With the help of the extant walls and their traces as also the surviving patches of floor, six structures, called Houses 16 to 21, could be demarcated, although the complete plan of none of them could be made out. Large patches of finely plastered floors were found in Houses 16, 17, 18 and 20. A circular hearth, 50 cm in the diameter and 10 cm deep, containing ash and charred animal bone fragments was found in House 16. In this very house was found a terracotta button-shaped seal bearing an Indus sign \[20.41\]. In the adjoining House 17 was found another terracotta button-shaped seal with two Indus signs. The lower half of a vase of thick coarse ware with flattish vase was also found embedded in the floor of this house. - [Previous: v2.c31.50](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c31.50) - [Next: v2.c31.52](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c31.52) - [Up: v2.c31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c31) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c31.51](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c31.51) · Pramāṇa
