Conclusion -
Surkotada was first found in 1964. In the past, a river is said to have flowed
through the northeastern side and into the Little Rann. The occupation of
Surkotada differs from that of other Harappan / Indus Valley Civilization
sites. Surkotada excavations have revealed a series of three cultural
sub-periods that fit under the Harappan chronology.
