Situated as it is only about 275 m e. of BARA and since it had yielded PGW \[11.14\] sherds in surface exploration, some trial trenches were laid in the unencumbered e. slopes of the mound in order to ascertain if some light could be shed on the Harappa-PGW relationship beyond what had been adjusted at ROPAR (\*IAR 1954-5\*, p. 9). Overlying the natural strata of sand, \*kankar\* stone and compact clay from bottom upwards, the occupational debris rises here to a height of 4·88 m divisible into three Pds, PGW, Kushan and late medieval. There being no BARA ware at Salaura and no PGW at BARA, although the two mounds almost embrace each other, it is clear that the BARA and PGW people had not come into contact with each other here. - [Previous: v2.c45.71](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.71) - [Next: v2.c45.73](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.73) - [Up: v2.c45](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.72](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.72) · Pramāṇa
