Bakri Waro East

SindhSettlementProtected
This site lies at a low-lying area sloping towards south, located in the south of Wadi Sim (Lake) and east of Bakri Waro where there is the Vakar Valley in the south. The lakes and alluvial valley make diverse subsistence resource bases. The site is very rich in the cultural material. The collection of several stone tools including many types of points, core and flakes are important. Majority of the tools are very small like geometric tools of the Mesolithic period. Pottery is mainly plain and is associated with various periods; for example, the hand-built and grit mixed pottery belong to the Hakra period and the short neck wheel-turned pottery shows affinity with the Kot Dijian period. Besides this cultural assemblage, terracotta cakes, terracotta bangles, shell objects and one sandstone polisher were also collected. The viscosity of scattered cultural material suggests that this site might have been occupied for a long time period and cannot be a campsite of nomads.
