A slightly different photograph of the structure, not so close as in this photograph is published in ARASI 1924-25, Plate XXV (d). Title: ‘Harappa: Mound B, A Double Burial Structure’
Sahni noted: “On the next or third stratum from the top [in mound B] special interest attaches to a double rectangular sepulchre (10’ from north to south and 4’ from east to west, Plate XXV, d). It comprised two distinct compartments one of which had an irregularly shaped relic chamber 1’5” x 1’4” x 1’ 12”. The contents consisted of a number of cremated bones one of which was easily identifiable as a collar bone.”

This photograph is published in Vats 1940, Vol. II, Plate XXX (b): ‘Rectangular pavement with brick edging in two parts’
Plate of Mound AB, Trench B
Vats: “To the west [of the raised central part of mound AB], in squares Q 18/17 and 18, was a broken rectangular pavement of the IIIrd stratum with brick edging. It is in two parts and measures 10 ft. from north to south by 4 ft. across (Pl. XXX, b). In its southern half is a narrow unpaved chamber (1 ft. 5 in. by 1 ft. 4 in.) lined with brick-on-edge. A similar chamber was found in the large rectangular floor of Stratum V, and two more in other parts of Trench I in Mound F. At the bottom of this chamber, Rai Bahadur Daya Ram Sahni found some fragments of charred bones which led him to think that this was a samadhi (footnote: A.S.R. for 1924-25, p. 78), but as similar bones are still found in the débris immediately under the foundation of the same flooring, those recovered by the Rai Bahadur probably also formed part of the débris. Twenty feet east of this floor is a wall of Stratum III, and 40 ft. further on in the same direction are the remains of a brick-on-edge pavement in squares P 18/8 and 13, and the fragment of a wall in square P 18/9.”
