*Size of bricks*: On the basis of measurement of bricks from various Harappan sites and structures the range of the size in cm is: 50 to 25 (length) × 25 to 12.5 (width) × 12.5 to 6.35 (thickness); keeping the general ratio of 4:2:1. The most common size is 28 × 14 × 7cm. A few examples may be necessary - earliest use of bricks (unbaked and baked) is attested for the first time from Pre-Harappan levels at Kalibangan (Dt. Ganganagar, Rajasthan)
