This paper discusses recent fieldwork conducted during July August 2013 in the Mansa district (Punjab). As a result 34 out of 170 previously identified sites associated with proto historic period, were documented. The southern Punjab (Mansa District) is very rich in archaeological potential. An alluvial plain of Sutlej Yamuna divide played a very important role in the human history since the remote antiquity. This survey provided to reiterate a number of problems connected with the origin, development and expansion of the early farming cultures in the region and to understand the mechanism of expansion, dispersal and diffusion of cultural traits with their geographical context particularly on Sirhind Cho or Nalla, during and up to the emergence of Iron Age. The main objective of present study is to present a holistic perspective of the proto historic people by understanding the region on the basis of material remains collected during the investigation. Apart from several explorations, including the present one, the only site in the study region namely Dhelawan has been excavated which brought to light significant details of the people; besides various new features of proto historic culture which were documented through regional survey.
