Allahdino

Allahdino is a small village belonging to the Harappan period, located 40 kilometres east of Karachi [1]. It is an unfortified settlement of 1.4 hectares, established in a coastal area of Pakistan [1]. This small but well-organised settlement was abandoned by c. 2000 BCE [1]. Several mud-brick houses, sometimes built on stone platforms were excavated from this site [1]. A large multiroomed house with a mudbrick platform was also excavated [1]. One building had three wells, with diameters of 60 cm to 90 cm [1]. Large quantities of copper objects, triangular terracotta cakes, seals, small terracotta jars with profusions of gold, silver, bronze and other ornaments were found [1]. A belt containing 36 carnelian beads was found [1].
