'Amri' is the site of a
Pre-Harappa fortified town which flourished from
3600 to
3300 BC.
The site is located south of
Mohenjo Daro on
Hyderabad-Dadu Road about 110 kilometres north of
Hyderabad in
Sindh province of
Pakistan. Situated near foothills of
Kirthar Range of mountains, this was an important earlier urban center in Lower Sindh. Amri is close to
Balochistan where development of earlier farming communities from 6000BC to 4000BC ultimately led to urbanization. On timeline, Amri is dated after
Rehman Dheri.
The ancient mounds of 8 hectares on the west bank of
Indus River have been extensively excavated. The pottery discovered here had its own characteristics and known as ''Amri Ware''. Like other Pre Harappa towns, no writings were found at this site. There is evidence of widespread fire at the town around 2500BC.
