The fortified site of Tharro in Sind has already been mentioned on p. 77, and the defences attributed in all probability to the Amri Culture, which is represented on the site. But the possibility of their being a product of the Harappā civilization must be borne in mind, for among the pottery from the site there is a great deal of rather soft, coarse red ware with characteristic Harappā ‘offering-stands’ among the forms represented. Furthermore, Majumdar found pictographs approximating to the Harappā script carved on the living rock at more than one point on the hill, and there are burial cairns apparently of some form of the Harappā Culture close by.
