Ali Murad Mound

Ali Murad Mound is a Harappan-era archaeological site in the Dadu District of Sindh, Pakistan, explored and named by archaeologist N.G. Majumdar. Atop the mound, an ancient hamlet was discovered enclosed by defensive walls of stone blocks. Excavations by Mortimer Wheeler yielded Harappan pottery, terracotta figurines of bulls and pigs, chert flakes, a small bronze axe, and beads of steatite, agate, and carnelian. Located 32 km southwest of Dadu and 13 km from Ghazi Shah Mound, it represents an important Indus Valley settlement.
