Abstract

The semi monolithic site of Makli is of critical importance in terms of understanding the socio-economic processes present at this time in the Sindh, Pakistan. Scholars have drawn conclusions about the semi monolithic technologies employed at later historic sites at Makli, based on attributes identified within experimental datasets. This research aims to show that the interpretation of the relationship between the experimental and archaeological datasets and questions the monolithic production strategy is shown to be constrained by the quality of the raw material. This interpretation and the association of these sites with a distinctive personal have important implications for our understanding of regional settlement systems and the placement of the graves at this sacred site. Here there is a discussion on how to use the process of anastolysis, since there is a need to conduct the alastolysis process for the site, for the reassembling of the un assembled parts.
