v1.c13.s6.6

Like the evidences for manufacture of beads and seals, evidences for the manufacture of stones have also came into light in course of excavation from Chanhu-Daro. One portion of Mound I yielded interesting objects which had evidently been thrown out of dismantled buildings by quarries. The number of mace-heads found, some of which are unfinished, show that stone-working was one of the crafts that were practised here. Some evidence has also come from Mound II where bead-makers and seal-makers used to live. (MCK, 63)
