Harappa phase baked brick drain
Brick robbing from both directions removed all but the central portion of this drain, but the remaining contents provide an important sequence of Harappan pottery spanning at least 200 years from 2400-2200 BC.
Harappa, Punjab ancient Indus civilization excavations, figurines, seals and other objects.
Mound F, looking towards Mound AB
The so-called circular working platform area and workmen's quarters are seen in the mid-ground.
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.
Terra cotta nodules
Terra cotta nodules and cakes of different shapes are common at most Indus sites. These objects appear to have been used in many different ways depending on their shape and size.
The flat triangular and circular shaped cakes may have been heated and

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.
Wheeled zebu figurine from Harappa
A small subset of the figurines from Harappa originally had wheels. Of the many small terracotta wheels found at Harappa, at least some must have been intended for these wheeled objects.
Inside of the Harappa phase drain
This view along Drain [8] into the mound shows details of the brick construction, the robbed out area at the east end of the drain (background), sloping strata above indicating the existence of an open street drain along the same line as the earlier
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.
Painted burial pottery
Painted burial pottery from Harappa. The two largest vessels were found in the same burial and are described below. The other smaller vessels were found in an earlier burial and represent an older style of pottery.
