Abstract

This paper argues that the growth of Neolithic farming settlements in different parts of Balochistan and Sindh, ultimately led to urbanization. The discoveries of Amri, Kot Diji and Tharro as fortified Pre-Harappan urban settlements provided evidences of development and progress of Indus civilization, which started from Mehargarh and ended up at Moen-jo-Daro. Keeping this view discoveries of Pre-Harappan and Harappan settlements in Karachi and its adjacent coastal districts of Thatta and Lasbela in Sindh and Balochistan have remained important field of interest for researchers to explore these settlements and excavate artefacts. The chipped stone assemblages and potteries excavated from the Pre-Harappan and Harappan settlements provide valuable information about their development in the coastal region of Sindh and Balochistan.
