Archaeology

This site had multi-level structures, although it was never a big city.

Pre-Harappan stage

The earliest phase was a fortified town that flourished from 3600 to 3300 BC, and belonged to the Pre-Harappan stage of the Indus Valley Civilization.

Situated near the foothills of Kirthar Mountains, this was an important earlier urban center in Lower Sindh. Amri is close to Balochistan where development of earlier farming communities from 6000 BC to 4000 BC ultimately led to urbanization. Amri is dated after Rehman Dheri.

The ancient mounds of 8 hectares on the west bank of Indus River have been extensively excavated. The pottery discovered there had its own characteristics and is known as Amri Ware. Like other Pre Harappa towns, no writings were found at this site. Evidence indicates widespread fire at the town around 2500BC.
