Jhukar-jo-Daro

The Jhukar-jo-Daro (Sindhi: جهڪر جو دڙو) is the highest mud mound in Larkana, located at a distance of 6 miles (10 kilometers) from Larkana city towards west near to village Mithodero on the left of the Larkana-Mehar Road (N55 National Highway)[1][2] in Larkana District, Sindh, Pakistan.[3] It was explored and excavated by renowned archaeologist N. G. Majumdar in 1928.[4][5] Jhukar-Jo-Daro is an archaeological site where Jhukar Phase was explored and it has been recorded that Harappan Phase came after or it is followed by Jhukar Culture.[6] Some historians have revealed that Jhukar Phase partly covers or overlaps with the Harapppan Phase but obviously persists much later.[7] The remains of late Harappan culture of Chalcolithic period were discovered here at Jhukar-Jo-Daro.[3][5]
