Type: Archaeological Site - Settlement
Province: Sindh
District: Khairpur
Period: Proto Historic
Relative Chronology: 3500 BCE - 1800 BCE
Description: A spot lies at approximately 200 m from the lake. While a thick concentration of micro flakes was observed, a number of pointed tools, core and flakes were reported. The dense presence of artefacts suggests that this spot was occupied for a long time as well. The gathered materials consist mainly of geometric tool types, such as pointed chert tools, core and flakes, trapezes and triangles were collected. The presence of flaking debris and core indicates that implements were manufactured at the site and were perhaps used elsewhere in the vicinity.
