Kanmer, locally known as Bakar Kot, is an archaeological site belonging to Indus Valley civilization, located in Rapar Taluk, Kutch District, Gujarat, India.[1][2]
Excavation
Indo-Japanese joint excavation at Kanmer was undertaken during 2006 by Institute of Rajasthan Studies, RIHN, JRN Rajasthan Vidyapeeth, Archeology Department, Gujarat and Japanese team.[3]
Architecture
The site was strongly fortified despite being small, perhaps because it may have been located on trade route between Sindh and Saurashtra.[3]
Findings
Rich ceramic assemblage, representing the Mature Harappan culture was found at this site.[3] Three clay seals with central holes, making them pendants, with Indus scripts were found.[4] A large number of bead-making goods — 150 stone beads and roughouts, 160 drill bits, 433 faience beads and 20,000 steatite beads — were found here, indicating the site's importance as an industrial unit. Agate quarries were also located at a distance of 20 kilometres (12 mi) from the site.[5]
Importance
The figures appearing on clay seals and their similarity with those of Mohenjo-daro indicate Kanmer's association with bigger trade centres like Harappa and Mohenjo-daro.[5]
