Dranjan

BalochistanSettlementProtected
This mound is located 50 km away west of Sibi near Kista village. It comprises three mounds lying close to each other. The site measures 200 x 150 m. The study of pottery and other contents obtained from the mound apparently relate the site to the Buddhist period. Nevertheless, the material yielded from the deeper illegal pits convincingly placed it contemporary to Damb Sadaat and Faiz Mohammad Site of Quetta valley.
