Sokhta Koh, Archaeological site in Balochistan, Pakistan.
Situated near Pasni on the Makran coast, Sokhta Koh consists of low hillocks surrounded by jagged hills with the Shadi Kaur river flowing nearby.
The site, discovered in 1960 by archaeologist George F. Dales, contains artifacts and structures dating back to the Mature Harappan period between 2600 and 1900 BC.
The excavated pottery includes kiln-baked wares featuring geometric designs, reflecting the manufacturing techniques and artistic preferences of ancient Harappan communities.
The archaeological site covers less than a mile in diameter and requires specific travel arrangements due to its location 15 miles north of Pasni.
The settlement's position along the ancient coastline provides evidence of maritime trade networks during the Harappan civilization's peak period.
