Of Trench A (e) Sahni noted: “In mound F which rises about 25’ above the plain level, a large area (Ae) has been dug along the western edge of the site. … The uppermost stratum yielded, besides a number of fragmentary walls, a well preserved sepulchre constructed with burnt bricks of the usual size … with probably another structure of the same kind adjoining it on the south side but placed at right angles to it.”
- Daya Ram Sahni, ARASI 1924-25, p. 75.
For the first structure mentioned by Sahni see Mound F burial.
Vats: “About 25 ft. south-west of the Great Granary Area is an irregular, polygonal trench called Ae, sunk by Rai Bahadur Daya Ram Sahni, which measures 157 ft. on the longer axis from north to south by 55 ft. wide on the average (PL IX). Here the mound is low, as it lies between the contour lines of 540 and 545 ft., and the ground continually slopes down from south to north.” (p. 48)
“The 1st stratum was found just near the surface in the raised southern part of this trench. In referring to it, Mr. Sahni says ‘The uppermost stratum yielded, besides a number of fragmentary walls, a well preserved sepulchre constructed with burnt bricks of the usual size and lying east to west …’. This structure, as will appear from PI. X, d, is nothing more than a small brick-on-edge pavement of the usual type … No receptacle for bones was found in either of them. …I may also add that in the large area which has since been excavated on this and other mounds at Harappa, not a single sepulchre has so far been met with.”
