No, no! These are the walls! You can see the streets in between the houses, 
even a sewer between the houses. The round structures are probably 
reservoirs or wells. On the streets, you can see small rectangular 
structures which were litter boxes, according to archaeologists.
I found this city plan in an old book: Prehistoric India, by Stuart Piggott, 
a Pelican Book published in 1950.

This was a quick experiment. In order to give the different structures also 
different heights, you will have to make separate traces that you combine 
later in the render.

Looking forward to the Afghan digs!
