Explanation:

The cylindrical seal is typical of Mesopotamia.

The humped bull motif has its origin to the Indus region.

In archaeology, stratigraphy refers to the study of the layers of soil or sediment that make up an archaeological site.  Generally, the lowest layers are the oldest and the highest are the most recent. R.E.M. Wheeler recognized that it was necessary to follow the stratigraphy of the mound rather than dig mechanically along uniform horizontal lines.

In 1974 M.R. Mughal began explorations in Bahawalpur.
