Archaeologists from Kerala University have recently discovered a 5,200-year-old Harappan settlement at Padta Bet.

• It is located approximately 1.5 km from Juna Khatiya, an Early Harappan necropolis, in the Kutch district of Gujarat.

About Juna Khatiya:

• It is one of the biggest Harappan burial sites with the possibility of 500 graves.
• The burials discovered at this site date from 3,200 BCE to 2,600 BCE, predating Dholavira and several other Harappan sites in Gujarat.
• The site is important because others like Dholavira have a cemetery in and around the town, but no major habitation has been discovered near Juna Khatiya.
