Bhir Site (Nara)

SindhSettlementProtected
The Bhir Site is situated on the left bank of Nara Canal within Nara valley Plains some six km east of Rohri hills in Nara region of District Sukkur. The site is approximately 2 m high from surrounding cultivated land and perhaps the settlement was extended towards the area now under cultivation. The limestone blocks were found in large quantity in various parts of the site indicating limestone used for house construction. The different stratigraphic layers were observed in the burrows where the cultural material was embedded in the section, showing different occupation levels, where from some Kot Dijian period shards were collected.
