Mystery at Mound F, Harappa

Harappan Kiln

Period 4 (Late Harappan transitional) kiln with hollow lower fire box and arched floor with holes for allowing heat to enter the upper firing chamber. This type of kiln was introduced at Harappa ca. 1900 BC and allowed the potters to reach higher temperatures more efficiently (Trench 43).
