The Joint Pak-Italian-French Historical-Archaeological Mission at Banbhore, Sindh, was born from the collaboration between the French Archaeological Mission to Sindh and the Italian Historical and Archaeological Mission in Makran. One of the aims of the Project is to verify the historical identity of the site and identify it with Debol/Daybul, the ancient harbour-town located on the Indus' delta, that was one of the main hubs for land and maritime trade in the Indian Ocean. Banbhore has a long period of occupation, from the first centuries A.D. up to the beginning of the 13th century. It is a fortified citadel, surrounded by “industrial” and residential areas North and East. The excavations of the Pak-Italian team, begun in 2012, focused on the central area of the citadel, bringing to light a dense grid of buildings of the Islamic period, and giving some insights into the Sasanian phases. The findings testify the role of Banbhore both as a production centre and trade harbour. Metals, carved bones and ivories reveal intense artisanal activities carried out in the Western half of the citadel; concerning pottery, it is mostly locally produced, though a good amount of imports from Iraq, Iran, India and China is also witnessed.

The authors introduce the discoveries from the 2012-2015 campaigns: the trenches witness that Banbhore experienced a long period of settlement from at least the 2nd century CE up to the beginning of the 13th century. They have provided solid data about an Indo-Sasanian period of occupation and a long transitional phase, also clearing the chronology and the architectural features of the “Partition Wall”, a towered structure dividing the citadel in its last stage of life. The findings testify the role of Banbhore both as production centre and market in Sasanian and Islamic times. The water table has so far prevented us to reach the virgin soil. Metals, glasses, carved ivories and stone artefacts, worked and semi-worked shells reveal important artisanal activities in the We...
