Khan claimed a mature Pre-Harappan culture at Kot-Diji² in the Khairapur district of Sind, "Indeed there are strong indications to support the view that the early settlers whom we shall call Kot-Dijians, possessed a highly developed culture of their own, from whom the people of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro borrowed certain artistic and other ideas including the systems of town-planning and fortifications, which are the most extraordinary systems known to Indo-Pakistan pre-history". About the pottery, he reports that there is difference in fabric, form and decoration from the Harappan. Pending further studies it is difficult to make any comment on this. *The possibility of a late movement of the Harappans southwards into Sind cannot be over-ruled.*
