Kot Diji

"Mughal (1970, 1973) has strongly argued that the Kot Dijian cultural group of this area was the direct predecessor to the Indus Valley civilization, based on stratigraphy and material artifact analysis. At some sites, Kot Dijian culture is chronologically earlier than the Indus Valley/Harappan culture sites; other Kot Dijian sites are contemporary with those of the Indus Valley/Harappan culture, while other Kot Dijian sites are later than those of the Indus Valley/Harappan culture."
