SindhSettlementProtected
It is also known as Kot Raja Manjera. The site was described as the ruins of a Buddhist site and a stupa. Cousen also identified the site with the remains of a Buddhist Stupa. Professor A.R. Khan of Karachi University who surveyed it in the early 1970s (KHAN, 1979a: 6) identified the top of the terrace as prehistoric site and attributed it to the Amri Culture due to the presence of typical red-slipped wares and potshards with painted geometric patterns (KHAN, 1979b: 71), and a rich chipped stone assemblage, including flint micro drills for beads making. According to the field notes by A.R. KHAN (1979a: 7) the site yielded archaeological finds, which he attributed to both Amri Culture and Buddhist period (5th century CE).
