The site of an Indo-Greek settlement dating to the reign of King Menander I in the second century BC. This Hellenistic settlement covered some 30 ha at its peak. Earlier settlement phases have been identified, including a village dating ca. 1100-1000 B.C. in addition to Chalcolithic pit structures (ca. 1700 B.C.)
