Phariaro 2
SindhSettlementProtected
The site is located to the north of Phariaro town on the flat tops of the sand dunes. Cultural material thinly scattering on the surface suggests temporary occupation, while the dry bed of a lake located to the west of the site is presently under cultivation. The Rohri hills, lying at a walking distance from the site, might have served as a quarry for obtaining Chert nodules for making stone tools. Plain and applique pottery and Chert stone flakes were collected from this site. Hakra and subsequent periods objects were collected that need a thorough investigation. The site, however, can be chronologically bracketed between the 4th and 2nd millennium BC.
