Jonathan Mark Kenoyer presents recent finds made by the Joint Hadd Project which includes Dennys Frenez and Maurizio Cattani (U. of Bologna, Italy) that has revealed a wide variety of Indus artifacts at this coastal site. From pottery, black-slipped jars from Mohenjo-daro, beads, cotton, steatite beads, drills and more that testify to the close links between HD-1 and the ancient Indus region between 2700 and 2000 BCE. The richness of this site and its likely interactions with Sindh, Gujarat and Punjab is remarkable.
