The excavation has revealed that the Harappa lived here along with an antecedent culture in Pd I A with all their typical mode of habitation and cultural assemblage and continued even after the mature phase was over. Their contribution is not meagre in the cultural transformation. No white-painted black-and-red ware akin to the AHAR² fabric is found in Pd I A and this assumes added significance as such ware is available in the Harappa levels of LOTHAL and other sites in Saurashtra. The massive rubble rampart of the citadel with an elaborate gateway complex and with guard-rooms on either side in the citadel in Pd I C is without parallel at such an early date.
