BalochistanSettlementProtected
It is located 40 km north-west of Ormara on the west bank of Basol Kaur on a stony platform overlooking the Basol Kaur valley, is formed by three sites (A, B, C) showing remains of dry-stone buildings - cairns (square and rectangular shapes) and probably one settlement (the northern site) with larger constructions. Only two or three shards have been found but fragments of copper bowls have been collected around destroyed cairns. Dating material is scarce but fits within the Zangian assemblage.
