Marshall's Mohenjo-daro 1922-27

View of First Street, between Sections A and B, looking south

[Original 1931 text] "The northern part of this street, 145 feet in length, had been dug by Mr. Hargreaves in 1925-26, the rest of the street, some 300 feet in length, was completely exposed by me down to the Intermediate level, the work involving the removal from the street itself of a 10 ft. layer of closely packed debis. How far this street runs southward beyond the extremity of the HR Area has not yet been determined. . .. The width of this street average 30 feet and it is the only street so far excavated at Mohenjo-daro that could have been used for wheeled traffic, if wheeled traffic was permitted inside the town." [Marshall, Vol. I, p. 187]
