Northeastern sector of Mohenjo-daro: DK-G area south

The northeastern sector of Mohenjo-daro was excavated by K. N. Dikshit and designated DK-G area. Pathways allow visitors to visit the excavations, and an unexcavated portion of the site in the right foreground show what the site looked like prior to excavation. Slide 9 shows the northern portion of this sector. The large levee in the background protects the site from the encroaching floods of the Indus River.

Northeastern sector of Mohenjo-daro: DK-G area north

The northeastern sector of Mohenjo-daro was excavated by K. N. Dikshit and designated DK-G area. Pathways allow visitors to visit the excavations, and an unexcavated portion of the site in the right foreground show what the site looked like prior to excavation. Slide 10 shows the southern portion of this sector. The large levee in the background protects the site from the encroaching floods of the Indus River.

Farmlands to the west of Mohenjo-daro

West of the "citadel" mound are lush farmlands watered by modern irrigation channels. A levee protecting the site from annual floods divides the irrigated land from the salt encrusted sediments surrounding the ancient site. The high salinity of the site is the result of many different factors, but primarily due to increased irrigation and the lack of proper drainage.

The Indus River and "lower town"

After the mist has cleared, the Indus River is clearly visible from the top of the "citadel" mound. The two small rectangular huts are used to contain conservation equipment needed to maintain the site. The hut on the left is associated with VS area and that on the right is with HR area. This is the same view as Slide 5 where you can barely see the outlines of the huts.

"Citadel" mound and Stupa

The eroded edges of the "citadel" mounds are covered with red brick dust and pottery, with traces of lighter mud brick revealing the underlying platforms that form the foundations of the uppermost buildings. This mound is encircled by a massive mud-brick wall or platform, which is now eroded down to the modern plain level. The Buddhist stupa was built directly on top of the ancient Harappan buildings. To the left, at the southern end of the mound are the remains of Indus period buildings in area L.

Sunrise over Mohenjo-daro

The winter sun rises over the site while the mist clings to the mounds. The mounds of the "lower town" are barely visible above the mist and in the foreground are the edges of brick structures belonging to the Buddhist monastery complex on the "citadel" mound. This is the same view as Slide 7 where you can see the mounds more and the Indus River more clearly.

Kids in Mohenjo-daro

These two local boys decided to hang out in the ancient city after delivering a pot of milk to their father who is one of the site watchmen. The distinctive decorated hat worn by the older boy is worn throughout Sindh province in Pakistan

"Citadel" mound and Stupa in the mist

Local villagers cross the site in a donkey cart in the early morning mist, with the Buddhist stupa perched on top of the "citadel" mound. The modern road winds through the low-lying area between the "citadel" and "lower town."

Indus River at Mohenjo-daro

Rice fields almost ready for the fall (kharif) harvest reach to the edges of the Indus River near Mohenjo-daro. The flood plain on the far side of the river is covered by a vast scrub forest that would have supplied the ancient inhabitants with firewood and good hunting.

Lower Town in the mist

On an early winter morning the mist settles in the low-lying areas of Mohenjo daro between the "citadel" and the "lower town". In the distance the heavy mist on the Indus River forms a solid white line. The mounds of the "lower town" are barely visible above the mist and in the foreground are the edges of brick structures belonging to the Buddhist monastery complex on the "citadel" mound.

Mohenjo-Daro

University of Wisconsin, Madison Priest King Icon

Mohenjo Daro, or "Mound of the Dead" is an ancient Indus Valley Civilization city that flourished between 2600 and 1900 BCE. It was one of the first world and ancient Indian cities. The site was discovered in the 1920s and lies in Pakistan's Sindh province. Only a handful of archaeologists have excavated here, described in the introduction and illustrated essay Mohenjodaro: An Ancient Indus Valley Metropolis.
