Пирак — археологический памятник Хараппской цивилизации. Находится в пакистанском Белуджистане, в 20 км к югу от г. Сиби, к востоку от реки Нари. Останки древнего поселения обнаружены под курганом высотой 8 метров и площадью около 12 акров (48 562,27706400000 м2). The site of Pirak was first reported by Robert Raikes in 1963. It was excavated, between 1968 and 1974, before the well known sites of Mehrgarh or Nausharo by the French archaeological mission team led by Jean Marie Casal. According to the excavator, this site was occupied from c.1800 BCE to 800 BCE.
The excavaotor records three phases of unbroken occupation in Pirak, In the first period, structures of unburnt brick associated with a large platform were found. A major part of the pottery was a coarse ware decorated with applique bands and fingertip impressions. Both terracota and unburnt clay figurines of horses and camels were found, along with numerous bones of both the species. Terracota button seals of circular, square or curved forms were common. The second period also showed a similar assemblage with large numbers of terracota and clay figurines, which include not only Bactrian camels and horses but also human figures, including riders. Along with numerous tools of copper and bronze, first pieces of iron are also found. The third period (c.1000-800 BCE) produced a greater quantity of iron and a continuation of all the elements of the earlier periods. Along with three varieties and two varieties of barley, rice and sorghum were also found here, which is the first recorded appearance of these two cereals in this region.[1]
