Type: Archaeological Site - Settlement
Province: Sindh
District: Khairpur
Period: Historic
Relative Chronology: 6th Century BCE - 11th Century CE
Description: The settlement is located near the Saneso Dhandh Lake. Cultural materials are scattered over a vast area in a thick concentration. On the site, a dead corpus of an animal was seen which died due to uncertain reasons, but it is very important to note that such type of additions would apparently disturb the original archaeological context. Another phenomenon was a Kandi tree encircled by thorny Lorhos that was attributed to the Pir Abdul Sattar as one nearby villager informed us. Around this Kandi tree, there were several empty water storage jars, one zinc glass, several chert stone nodules. Threads were tied to the branches of the tree. This was a ritual place, where people come for certain ritual purposes, get benefited and make requests.
