Consider the following statements regarding the structural variations in Harappan fortifications:
1. At Surkotada in Gujarat, both the citadel and the lower town are fortified within a single continuous layout, explicitly separated from each other by an internal stone-wall divide containing an interconnected gateway.
2. Lothal features a uniform wall boundary that encloses all storage warehouses and residential sectors together without any internal high-walled administrative partition.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Question

Accepted Answer

Both statements outline accurate deviations from the classic bipartite model of separate city mounds. Surkotada implemented a unified walled envelope built of rubble stone masonry containing two equal halves. Lothal focused fully on flood protection, wrapping its entire economic core under a single robust brick fortification barrier without internal social barricades.
