SindhSettlementProtected
The site is located two km south of Deariro village in Deh Mamro, Taluka Saleh Pat on the flat alluvial ground elevating almost five m from surrounding area. The site occupies southern side of the sand dunes and has open valley in front. The valley is dominated by Khaber plants. The site consists of a mound some two m above the surrounding area. The brunt brick fragment is dispersed all over the site. Brick robbers have destroyed some portions of the site. There no any visible features were recorded. Thus, the brunt brick suggested some permanent structures constructed here in this settlement. The cultural objects include pottery, chert stone, sand stone, shell bead, twisted copper rod and iron pieces. The discovery of iron pieces indicates re-habituate of the area during Iron Age as these people were settled just half km away from this settlement.
