v2.c37.1373

Late Harappa [4.10] sites are the most numerous. A number of them continued to be occupied during the succeeding PGW [4.15] and later periods. A few of them, as BUDHANPUR and THIRANA in Dt Karnal and SAPALI KHERI and ALIPURA in Dts Kurukshetra and Jind respectively, have an area of more than 50000 sq m. It is significant that at the late Harappa mound of AUGAND in Dt Karnal can be noticed the traces of a large mud brick platform, characteristic of the classical Harappa town sites. A potsherd with the Harappa script [20.4.1] and an obsidian flake have also been picked up from the site.
