**Kanasutaria** (22°47′; 72°16′), Dt Ahmadabad. Post-Harappa [4.10] site yielding the Lustrous Red Ware [11.9], red and buff wares of coarse fabric and black-and-red ware. Most of the ceramic types are similar to those of RANGPUR II C and III. From the pottery and stratigraphical evidence it is evident that Kanasutaria came to be occupied very late in the transition phase of the Harappa culture. The occupational debris is completely covered up by loess. Formerly a major river must have flowed near the site, as is borne out by a thick fluvial deposit of sand and gravel.
