The purpose of this continuing research is to develop a system for
Period IV-V Paleotopography
Periods 4 and 5, representing a modification of cultural styles, exist at the tops of Mounds AB and E.
Period IIIBC Paleotopography
Period 3B and 3C deposits essentially cover the entire modeled area and represent the greatest extent of the ancient urban center.
J. M. Kenoyer has developed a model describing some of the processes that contribute to the urban growth at Harappa.
Period IIIA Cultural Stratigraphy
Period 3A deposits, representing an early urban phase, exist beneath Mounds E and also show expansion onto the area beneath Mound AB. Growth in the city of Harappa is shown to be both lateral and vertical.
Period II Cultural Stratigraphy
Period 2 deposits represent a transition phase between pre urban and urban phases and exist primarily beneath Mound E.
Period I Cultural Stratigraphy
Using maps and cross-sections of the cultural deposits from HARP, surfaces were generated to represent the interfaces of cultural layers in the mounds at Harappa. This represents the growth of the city of ancient Harappa vertically and through time.
Original Mound Paleotopography
The paleotopography represents the pre-occupation topography as it may have existed about 5000 years ago.

There also appears to be a smaller mound that is present at the modern Harappa town site. This could be a modern representation of the processes that built ancient Harappa.

Mackay writes about the large building in Block 22 (p. 152):
"At the floor level of the Late II Phase this building measured 51 feet 3 inches, North-South, by 56 ft. long at the north and about 54 feet 9 ins. at the south.
