- Kulli culture
The Kulli culture was a prehistoric culture in Southern
Baluchistan, Pakistan (Gedrosia ), ca. 2500 - 2000 B.C.E.The culture is named after an archaeological site discovered by Sir
Aurel Stein . Several settlement sites are known but very few excavated. Some of them have the size of small towns and are similar to those of theIndus Valley Civilization . The houses are built of local stone. Agriculture was the economical base of this people. At several places dams were found, providing evidence for a highly developed water management system. The pottery and other artifacts are similar to those of theIndus Valley Civilization and it is not clear whether the Kulli culture is a local variation of theIndus Valley Civilization or an own culture complex.ee also
