The ruined Gabbarbands (lit. stone dams) in south Baluchistan placed by Lambrick between c.3000-1000 B.C., have been related by Hargreaves with the Nal culture. Though no traces of gabbarbands are reported from Harappan sites, it has been suggested that the Harappans also used such dams for storing water for irrigational purposes.
