The uppermost prehistoric occupation of Mound II, now labelled “Chanhu-daro III” or “Jhangar”, was represented by a distinctive ceramic left “by a small group of people whose habitations had entirely disappeared”. The high level at which this pottery occurred shows that “the people who made it occupied Mound II after the Jhukar people had deserted it. In some cases the wares lay just above the Jhukar stratum, in others there was a little overlapping probably the result of the soil being disturbed by later searchers for building material.”
