The site is situated on the flat top of the eastern part of the same sand dune. At the base of this dune in eastern side, a brackish water lake of Bakri Waro is present. The banks of lake are covered with various types of plants and bushes very suitable for game and domesticated animals like cattle, and goat etc. The site consists of surface scatter where artifacts are scattered in good quantity over vast area. A 4x4 m trench was laid to know the subsurface continuity of cultural deposits; area was excavated a half a meter depth but nothing was found. The excavation is sand is very difficult because of the loose sand only monsoon season would be best pick of archaeologists in terms of deep excavation. Another alternative is to apply tremendous amount of water and maintain moisture in the sand which was not possible for me at moment. The cultural material includes potshards and micro flaking. A good number of flint geometric tool were collected. The object depository form site consists of chert implements including blade, pointed tools, triangles, medial blade, arrow head, copper pieces, shell bangles, terracotta figurine, terracotta bangles, stone bead, white disc beads, and other objects.
