Dubi 6

SindhSettlementProtected
This spot lies on the southern slopes of the same sand dune, where micro chert stone flakes, core, and various types of pottery were collected. The other diagnostic and exotic items like shell bangles were also collected. One of the shell bangles has a drilled hole perhaps for tying together and/or hanging in the ear tip as some of tribesmen like the Jogis of modern times still wear. It is also possible that this particular bangle was connected and tied with other ornaments. Some of the stone tools were larger in size than the Mesolithic geometric tools. The collected chert stone implements were flakes, blades, burin spall, burin, trapeze, scraper and borer. The pottery was also in different shapes and sizes along with plain shards scattered on the surface. The decoration was mainly in black colour over a red slipped surface.
