Type: Archaeological Site - Settlement
Province: Sindh
District: Khairpur
Period: Proto Historic
Relative Chronology: 3500 BCE - 1800 BCE
Description: The site is located at half a km north of the Jamal Shah Lake and a mausoleum. Potter y, stone flakes and micro debit age were observed spreading thinly over a vast area. Like other sites, the spot was repeatedly occupied from the Upper Paleolithic onwards. The large cores, flakes and other implements were associated with the Upper Paleolithic and the micro flakes suggests a geometric tool production of the Mesolithic period. The various types of pottery show a close affinity with the Hakra and Kot Dijian periods.
