Overview of the upper levels of the excavations
Overview of the upper levels of the Trench 43 excavations in 1999 shows the eroded city wall in the background and the fallen baked brick walls of late Period 3C structures in the foreground.
Ancient Indus walls.
Superimposed street levels inside the city wall
Superimposed street levels inside the city wall indicate that this area was kept clear until the last phase of the Period 3C occupation when structures were built encroaching onto the street (Trench 41NE)
The interior part of the city wall
The interior of the city wall shows mud bricks made from different colors of clay used during different phases of construction.

Harappa domestic structures with hearths and large jar
Inside the city wall were domestic structures with hearths and large jars, part of structures that had encroached onto what used to be street along the inner face of the wall (Trench 41NE).
Looking toward the interior of the "granary" structure
Looking toward the interior of the "granary" structure, the void of the original baked brick wall (vertical scale) is filled with small pieces of broken baked bricks and mud-brick rubble, while the original open space between the walls (horizontal
Empty channel between two "granary" walls.
This image looking east shows baked brick rubble and trash that had spilled through the corbelled arch of a buttress from the exterior street into a then empty channel between two "granary" walls.
Excavations conducted in narrow space
Excavations were conducted in the narrow space running west from the buttresses and between the interior walls to determine what was inside of the "granary" structure.
Hollow baked brick buttresses
Hollow baked brick buttresses were later built up against the original "granary" structure on top of a shallow mud-brick platform [400] that itself overlies the mud-brick platform of the original "granary". Below these platforms is baked brick wall
Detail view of a hollow area
Detail view of a hollow area that would originally have held a wooden beam bonded into the baked brick structure. In the background is a wall remnant from the later rebuilding of the "granary".
