Description: The site is located on the southern slopes of a dune where it has an open valley. It seems that a spill channel might have crossed from here in ancient times. The cultural material spreading in a large quantity on the surface suggests the site had been an abode of nomads from the Thar desert. Plain, painted and applique pottery, Chert blades and flakes were collected from here. Chronology of the site extends from the Hakra period, 4th millennium BC, down to historic and modern times.
