Somewhere in Gujarat....

A 5,000-year-old stepwell has been found in one of the largest Harappan cities, Dholavira in Kutch.
It is said to be over three times bigger than the Great Bath of Mohenjo Daro.
Located in the eastern reservoir of Dholavira by experts from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) working with IIT-Gandhinagar, the site represents the largest, grandest, and the best furnished ancient reservoir found in the country.It is rectangular, 73.4 m long, 29.3 m wide and 10 m deep.
“It is over three times bigger than the Great Bath in Mohenjo Daro which is 12m in length, 7m in width, and 2.4 m deep,” said V N Prabhakar, visiting faculty at IIT and superintending archaeologist, ASI. Announcing the discovery of a 5,000-year-old Harappan stepwell in Dholavira, V N Prabhakar, visiting faculty at IIT-Gandhinagar and superintending archaeologist, ASI, said a spot analysis would be conducted in December. “We will conduct the analysis as various surveys have indicated that other reservoirs and stepwells may be buried in Dholavira,“ Prabhakar said. “We suspect that a huge lake and an ancient shoreline are buried in the archaeological site that's one of the five largest Harappan sites and the most prominent archaeological site in India belonging to the Indus Valley civilization,“ he added.
Experts will investigate the advanced hydraulic engineering used by Harappans to build the stepwell using a 3D laser scanner, remote sensing technology and a ground-penetrating radar system. “We will study how water flowed into the well and the idea behind water conservation,“ said Prabhakar. The IIT-Gandhinagar and ASI teams will also excavate tanks, stoneware, finely furnished brick blocks, sanitation chambers and semi-precious stones. Precious stones like carnelian were in great demand during the Harappan era. Gujarat was the bead and craft manufacturing industry hub. “ Agate carnelian beads were also coveted,“ Prabhakar said. Siddharth Rai and V Vinod of IIT-Gandhinagar are working on the characterization of internal structures of pottery undearthed, to identify Harappan diet.
