Abstract

This paper deals with Londo1 site, particularly its periodization. The site is in Khuzdar and has been often associated with Londo Horizon. Previously, this site was surveyed by Stein and de Cardi; however, they only seem to have collected Londo and Togau Wares. Applying comparative studies, the authors from the recent surface collection claim that it is a multi-cultural site including Togau, Naal, Kulli, Harappan and Londo wares. This study also includes a catalogue of pottery from the Sultan Shahwanni’s Private Collection which has never been studied. This paper is also concerned with treasure hunting in the region.
