Allahdino is a small village belonging to the Harappan period, located east of Karachi. It is an unfortified settlement of 1.4 hectares, established in a coastal area of Pakistan. This small but well-organised settlement was abandoned by c. 2000 BCE.
==Excavations== Several mud-brick houses, sometimes built on stone platforms were excavated from this site. A large multiroomed house with a mudbrick platform was also excavated. One building had three wells, with diameters of 60 cm to 90 cm. In fact, all the wells found on this site had similarly small diameters. The layout of the settlement and buildings suggest that Allahdino was involved with administrative role.
