Saran Waro

SindhSettlementProtected
The site is located in the valley on the small sand dune or the raised place covering a total of 170x65x2 m area. The long axis is in the north/south direction. On the surface of site several hearths, vitrified slag, and thick concentration of pottery, T/C cakes and other cultural objects were noticed. The semiprecious beads, shell bangles and white disk beads were also found from surface. No any baked brick was noticed and/or recorded that have possibly suggested for the utilization of permanent material for residential structures. Nevertheless, the density of cultural material scattered on the surface actually indicated that this was a permanent village entirely made of thatches; however, there might have been some mud wall at the base. During surface analysis of the site, traces of mud structures were observed for example, almost at the center of site the traces of mud wall in square shape were present.
