Pir Shah Jurio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pir Shah Jurio is an archaeological site located in Sindh, Pakistan. It was discovered by Abdur Rauf Khan.[1]

Pir Shah Jurio is a mature Indus Valley Civilization village along the left bank of the Hub River. It consists of a small mound, which is nowadays partly covered by a cemetery. From its surface, typical potsherds and other finds were collected. This site is strictly connected with the sea, which is a few kilometers south of it. It was radiocarbon-dated to the third millennium BP, from a sample of Terebralia palustris shells. As of 1964, the site is approximately 15 meters above sea-level.[2]
