Unlike Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, the defensive or flood-resisting wall of Lothal did not enclose only the acropolis area but encompassed the lower city as well. The massive mud-wall, 300 m n.-s. and 400 m e.-w., was reinforced by baked-brick walls on the n. side. The city was extended beyond the s. wall in Phase III, when it was 2 km in circuit. But the plan of the city remained unchanged in phases III and IV, thanks to strict and authoritative vigilance.
