Preface
The term pre-Harappan has been used by many archaeologists for the Kot Diji-Sothi complex as it was used since Majumdar's time for Amri, Kulli, Nal and similar other cultures. Mohammad Rafique Mughal however, preferred the term 'Early Harappan Culture' for the Kot-Dijian culture complex as he is of the firm opinion that it represents the formative stage of the Harappan culture. He believes that the Harappan culture evolved out of the Kot Dijian, which of course, includes many regional variations.

Mughal observed that the Early Harappan culture of Kot Diji Sothi Complex in the Indus system evolved exclusively out of the Baluchi chalcolithic cultures. However, it appears that this Kot Diji complex was essentially an indigenously evolving river valley phenomenon. The excavations conducted at Jalilpur, Saraikhola, Banawali, Kalibangan, Rakhigarhi and Kunal have brought to light the sequence of early cultures as it appeared in the Indus system. It shows that there were three phases of colonization of this region before the Harappan culture appeared on the scene.

Introduction
A fter the initial stage of the Neolithic folk, Baluchistan developed number of Chalcolithic cultures much before the Harappan. culture developed. The whole of Baluchistan has been found inhabited by these folks during the early fourth millennium BCE. Some of these cultures are Amri, Nal, and Kulli in southern Baluchistan and some like Quetta and Zhob in northern Baluchistan.
