Jhangar

Currently located in Sindh province in Pakistan near the village of the same name - Jhangar. It is dated approximately - XII — XI centuries. BC ^[1] .

Culture was first discovered in the 1920s. XX century.

Culture is defined as post- Harappan (see Harappan civilization ).

The most characteristic artifacts were found in Changhu Daro , where a layer of Jhangar culture lay above the layer with the post- Harappa Jhukar culture.

The carriers of the Jhangar culture captured Changhu Daro after he was abandoned by the "Jhukar".

There is clearly a similarity of culture with the cultures of Northern Balochistan and Iran , which indicates the penetration of tribes from these regions into the Indus Valley ^[1] .

Russian scholars believe that “... It is with the tribes of Balochistan, but not with the Aryans, that the post-Harappan cultures of Jhukar and Jhangar should obviously be connected” ^[2] .
