Rehman Dheri

Rehman Dheri extends across 22 hectares with a rectangular mound formation containing a systematic network of streets rising 4.5 meters above surrounding fields.

The settlement thrived between 3300 and 1900 BCE, representing one of the earliest planned urban centers in South Asia with structured city development patterns.

Archaeological investigations uncovered seals, pottery with early notation marks, and beads made from lapis lazuli indicating trade connections with other ancient civilizations.

The site stands near the Gomal River Plain, approximately 22 kilometers north of Dera Ismail Khan, featuring visible remains of ancient urban planning.

A massive wall constructed from dressed clay slabs encircles the entire habitation area except for a southern extension outside the main city limits.
