First Excavations at Harappa
1923-24: Unearthing the Mysteries of Harappa

Trench and Jars

This is a photograph of the same area as in Slide 7, Trench A (e) (Vats 1947, Plate IX), but taken from the northeastern edge of the trench looking north. It shows the excavation of the exterior of the well and many of the fragmentary walls have been removed, leaving only a few larger wall segments and a covered drain that probably indicates a small street or lane.

- Jonathan Mark Kenoyer, 2023.
