“…The most important chronological markers comprise ceramic imports from distant lands, such as unglazed fine buff eggshell jugs, Sasanian-Islamic monochrome turquoise glazed jars, and opaque white glazed wares coming from Iraqi and Iranian regions, splashed sgraffiato and hatched sgraffiato wares from Iran, and even two specimens of Dusun jars and a unique porcellaneous stoneware sherd from China. 23 The associated local unglazed productions are the red ware and the grey ware, labelled according to the color of the vessel ceramic body. 24 The amount of each ware recovered in the survey reflects the proportion observed in the stratigraphic excavations inside the walled town, being the red ware much more abundant than the grey ware.…”

The site of Banbhore is located in the western delta of the Indus river (Sindh, Pakistan), identified as the harbor town of Daybul mentioned in pre-Islamic and Early Islamic written sources. The archaeological activities conducted here since the beginning of the past century revealed a long and uninterrupted occupation and complex urban planning (1 st century BCE-early 13 th century CE). A systematic field survey was carried out for the first time around Banbhore within the Italian-Pakistani archaeological expedition. Investigation revealed the presence of a densely settled hinterland, with a clear strategy in land use and occupation. Surface artefacts suggest a very long period of frequentation, from at least the Sasanian period to the Modern era. Results find an interesting comparison with both the information available in written texts and the materials from the excavation of the fortified town.
