The ancient site at Manda, Akhnoor, lies on the right bank of the Chenab River at the foothills of the Pirpanjal Range. It is 28 kilometres north-west of Jammu and about 1 kilometre from Akhnoor. Excavations at this site have revealed three sequences of cultures. The oldest consists of the pre-Harappan Red Ware and the Harappan Red Ware. The Harappan pottery consists of red ware, jars, dishes, dish-on-stand, beakers and goblets. The antiquities ascribable to this period include a copper double-spiral-headed pin, bone arrow-heads with a tang, terracotta bangles, cakes, chert blades, saddle querns, pestles and potsherds with Harappan graffiti.
