Features from each locus of the various deposits are presented, and there are descriptions and drawings of examples of the artifacts found.

Dates are not known for most of the strata, but the platform in Area II was associated with amulets or seals typical of Mature Indus, and Loci 1000-1011 date to the Mature Indus. The following strata pertain to the Early Indus: 1018, 1020-1040, 2006, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2018, 2020, and 2021.
