dc.description.abstract | Excavations at Bokhira (Porbandar, Gujarat, India) on the Saurashtra coast revealed at Protohistoric settlement dating back to the mid 3rd millennium B.C. Four trenches were laid in agricultural land where a habitational deposit of 50 cm was noticed. A large quantity of pottery, animal bones and other antiquities similar to those reported from Bed Dwarka, Rojdi and Rangpur were found at the site. The place being close to a creek must have been suitable for maritime activities and would have served as a safe harbour. A few ancient jetties have been reported earlier along the Porbandar creek | |
