Ganweriwal

Ganweriwal, more commonly known as Ganweriwala, is an archaeological site in the Cholistan Desert of southern Punjab, Pakistan [1]. The site was rediscovered in the 1970s by Mohammad Rafique Mughal but has not been properly excavated [1]. Collection of surface finds and surveying of the site has shown mudbrick walls similar to those found in other Indus Valley sites, as well as unicorn figurines, a copper seal and an impressed clay tablet [1]. Ganweriwala is situated near the Indian Border on the dry riverbed of the Ghaggar-Hakra, now part of the vast Cholistan desert [1]. Ganweriwala is believed to have followed the typical Indus Civilisation town planning [1]. An impressed clay tablet was found on Mound A. It features a male deity, nude and seated in a yogi position with outstretched arms, on a throne with a disciple underneath him [1]. Surveying of the Ganweriwala site found evidence of baked bricks [1].
