Type: Archaeological Site - Settlement
Province: Sindh
District: Khairpur
Period: Proto Historic
Relative Chronology: 3500 BCE - 1800 BCE
Description: The site lies on the south-western of Phariaro town and occupies the southern slopes of a sand dune. The cultural material thinly scattered on the surface indicates that it might have been occupied for a short period. The cultural material collected from the site includes painted, plain and applique pottery, fragment of a terracotta cake and Chert flakes. Preliminary observation of the artefacts suggests occupation of the site since the Kot Dijjian period onwards.
