Kot Diji (English spelling)

Japanese: コト・ディジ(英語表記)Kot Diji
Kot Diji (English spelling)
A prehistoric site located 24km south of Khairpur in the Sindh region of southern Pakistan. It consists of strata representing the Indus Valley Civilization urban period and the culture preceding it. Since 1955, it has been excavated by FAKhān of the Pakistan Archaeological Service. There are 16 layers on natural strata, the top three of which were named the Indus civilization, and the bottom 13 the Kot-Diji culture. This culture, along with the Pre-Harappan culture discovered in strata before the construction of the Harappan forts in 1946, and the similar cultures that have been discovered in large numbers as independent ruins in recent years, is important as it holds the key to the emergence of the Indus Valley civilization in the Indus Valley.
