The archaeological site of Lakhian Jo Daro, which is believed to be 5500 years old was discovered by the team comprising 22 experts of Shah Abdul Latif University, Khairpur, near village Nihal Khoso, in the SITE area. The team headed by Prof. Ghulam Mustafa Shar, Chairman, Archaeology Department, found some semi-precious and precious stones and utensils made of clay, copper and other metals during their excavation mission, which started on January 22, 2009. The remains are said to be older than those of Moen Jo Daro and contemporary to the Kot Diji ruins.

The remains of a 'faience' mirror factory was also found from the project s second block. It was believed to be of the era of mirror factories of Italy which dates back to some 9,000 years. During the excavation a painting was also found and discovery of more such items could establish the site as 9,000 years old, like the remains found at Mehar Garh in Balochistan and Jericho in Palestine.
