The discovery of Harappa ware [11.3], beads of semiprecious stones, faïence bangles and terracotta toy-cart frames and wheels [15.19], beads, triangular cakes [6.27] and circular discs from BALU clearly indicates the extension of the mature Harappa culture [4.9] in the region. BALU is a sizeable mound, 265 m long and 290 m wide, rising to a height of 3·6 m. Besides Balu, perhaps a town site, a number of smaller sites yielding the Harappa Ware seemingly represent village settlements of the culture.
