Abstract

The paper describes the main results achieved by the Pakistani-Italian teams during the 2020 archaeological field season at Banbhore. The excavation around Building 2 provided further attestations of ivory in this part of the fortified town during the last occupation of the site in the late 12th-early 13th centuries. The most remarkable discovery is a small ivory workshop, the only one so far known from a certain archaeological context, outside the SE corner of Building 2. Two localized ivory dumps found in the E-W streets suggest the presence of more ivory workshops in this area, and possibly a place used for the storage of raw materials.
