View of Pit II, Mound AB, showing parts of a brick structure with a label, PII 99.
About the excavations of Pit II in Mound AB, Sahni reported: “No structural remains were met with in this trench until the excavation reached the depth of 12’, where a portion of a solidly built house was brought to light. One complete room in this structure has internal dimensions of 15’ x 5’10” and is provided with one door to the south and presumably two on the north side. … The room adjoining the one just described is also provided with doors… In the south east corner of this trench was found a brick built grave … the third trench could not be excavated to any considerable depth but the fourth or the northernmost pit revealed the remains of several structures…” of which the best preserved is the one in photograph 47.

Is this structure “a portion of a solidly built house”?
Vats: “Pits I and II, excavated by Mr Sahni, lay in one line from north to south and have since merged in the Eastern Section of the excavation” [p. 145].
