The site of Mundigak is situated in the valley of the Kushk-i-Nakhud Rud near Kandahar in South Afghanistan. Here excavations have brought to light the remains of seven major occupational periods. Chronologically these periods represent the time-span of approximately 3000 years, starting from the ceramic Neolithic (fifth millennium BC) to the Harappan period. During this period, Mundigak developed from a small agricultural village to an important urban centre; it was abandoned in the early iron age.
