Apart from mature Harappa objects named above, mention may also be made of beads and bangles of faïence [16.6], triangular terracotta cakes [6.27] and chert weights. Compared with the mature Harappa assemblage at Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, it is the absence of the goblet with pointed base and terracotta figurines including the mother goddess which strikes one most. In I A levels only one mud-brick wall of three courses has been encountered. The bricks are irregular in size but have a uniform thickness of 10 cm. The only wall noticed in I B at RPR-2 is built of river pebbles. Phase I C is however rich in housing remains with seven structures assignable to five phases. The building material consists of *kankar* stone, mud brick and kiln-burnt brick. One of the well-built houses has foundations of *kankar* stone and superstructure of mud brick. The kiln-burnt bricks measure 20×10×40 cm.
