The circular platform excavated by Wheeler in 1946 (left) and the one excavated by HARP in 1998 (right). Both of these platforms were found inside small square rooms that originally had baked brick walls, subsequently removed by brick robbers (Trenc… >

For Sahni’s description of the excavations at the area of the ‘parallel walls’ see ARASI 1924-25, pp. 76. The walls were both, stouter and thinner. Sahni mentioned that ‘the upper portion [of the former] is built solidly of burnt bricks,… >

Aerial view of the exposed southeastern portion of the "granary" structure shows the nature of brick bonding and the empty sockets that would have held wooden beams and supports. >

Detail view of the HARP-excavated platform in Trench 43 with Wheeler's platform to the east (toward the top of the image). Note the mud-brick wall foundations that surround each platform to the east, south, and west (the north walls remain unexposed… >

Another view of the excavations at the area of the Parallel Walls, which Sahni described as the most outstanding finds of the year. Sahni, as Vats subsequently mentioned, excavated the Eastern portion of this structure. For Sahni’s description o… >

The so-called "granary" of Harappa is found on Mound F. It is a brick structure that was built on a massive brick foundation over 45 meters north south and 45 meters east-west. Two rows of six rooms that appear to be foundations are arranged along a… >

Excavations along the northeast perimeter of Mound F (Trench 41NE) identified traces of a massive mud-brick wall that protected the interior settlement (to the left) from floods and unwanted visitors. This perimeter wall of Mound F was buried under … >

A large concentration of straw impressions was found in one part of the floor next to the platform, but there is no evidence of chaff from processing grain as was suggested by earlier excavators (Trench 43). >

View of three thinner and three stouter walls. For Sahni’s description of the excavations at this area see ARASI 1924-25, p. 76. NOTES: 1. Photographs Parallel Walls, 60, Parallel Walls, Block of Parallel Walls 2, Block of Parall… >

To the south of the "granary" or "great hall" at Harappa is an area with numerous circular working platforms that were built inside small rooms or courtyards. These circular working platforms may have been used for husking grain. One of these circul… >
