Province: Sindh

Description: At almost 100 m further east from Dubi 3, this site is noticed on the flat top of a sand dune. The pottery cluster attested at this site portraits a thin concentration of cultural material. The major finds are stone tools, a shell bead and pottery. At least, three different classes of pottery assemblage such as plain painted and stamped were collected. The painting is made of floral, geometric dots and parallel bands. All shards are painted in black colour on a red slipped surface. The stamped pottery as a radiating sun symbol shows an association with the Early Historic period at Tulamba (Mughal 1967).
