Sutkagan Dor, Archaeological site in Balochistan, Pakistan

Located near the western bank of the Dasht River, Sutkagan Dor extends across 4.5 hectares with massive stone fortification walls and a citadel.

Major Edward Mockler discovered this settlement in 1875, followed by excavations from Aurel Stein in 1928 and George Dales in 1960.

The settlement represents the westernmost point of Indus Valley Civilization, demonstrating the extent of this advanced Bronze Age society in South Asia.

The archaeological remains include stone vessels, copper arrowheads, shell beads, pottery, and 127 flint blades measuring up to 27.5 centimeters in length.

The fortification walls display sophisticated engineering with an inner face slightly battered and an outer face sloping between 23 and 40 degrees.
