Ancient Indus walls.
Deep digging at the southeast corner of the "granary" revealed an earlier building [wall 330] constructed along the same east-west alignment. This structure could have been built as early as the beginning of Period 3B, ca. 2450 BC.
After clearing the overlying silt, the original forms of the baked brick walls and hollow buttresses of the "granary" could be made out.

A massive baked brick revetment wall [329] surrounds the solid mud-brick foundation platform [50] of the "granary" that measures approximately 51 meters north-south and 41 meters east-west.
In Trench 57 West, excavations in 2001 revealed a large paving of backed bricks that may have been part of a courtyard or room originally bordered by massive baked brick walls.
