Circular platform
In 1998, the circular platform first exposed by Sir Mortimer Wheeler in 1946 was re-exposed and the area around the platform was expanded to reveal the presence of the room in which it was enclosed.
HARP (Harappa Archaeological Research Project) a group of scholars from a variety of fields dedicated to advancing the study of the ancient Indus Valley civilization.
Spherical agate weight with one side flattened
Spherical agate weight with one side flattened (H2000-4496/9880-01). This weight does not conform to the standard Harappan weight system and may indicate the use of a separate weight system for international trade with Central Asia or other regions.
Unique two colored tablet
This uniquely shaped tablet (H2001-5090/2913-09), also made with two colors of faience, has an inscription similar to that seen on the previous slide (67). This tablet was found inside the workshop in Trench 54 South.
Harappa phase banded beads in situ
In the street levels above the drain a collection of banded sandstone and banded terracotta beads were discovered.
New circular platform
To the west of Wheeler's circular platform a new platform was discovered. This platform was excavated using modern stratigraphic procedures and detailed documentation.
Excavation in progress
Excavations of a large late Period 3C pit in Trench 43 resulted in the discovery of many broken figurines of humans and animals.
Inscribed steatite tablets
Inscribed steatite tablets made from two different colors of steatite have the same inscription. The sloppy nature of the inscription may be the reason why these tablets were discarded.
Harappa phase banded beads
Banded sandstone beads and (bottom row) imitation stone beads made of different colors of clay.
