Gilund is a village and an archaeological site located in Rajsamand district of Rajasthan state in western India.
[2] The archaeological site was named after the present-day village, Gilund, and is locally known as Modiya Magari which means "bald habitation mound".
[3] Although few pieces of pottery and bones date back to the mesolithic period, it does not compare to the amount found at Bagor.
[3] Other artifacts found were terracotta figurines of mostly bull or cattle, stone tools used for making beads and lithics, ear spools, studs, and bangles.
A large bin filled with more than 100 seal impressions was found by a team led by archaeologists from the University of Pennsylvania Museum and the Deccan College.
The design motifs are generally quite simple, with wide-ranging parallels from Indus Civilization sites such as Chanhu-daro, Pirak, Kot Diji and Nindowari, 400 to 500 miles away.
There are also distinct parallels with seals from another cultural group archaeologists call the Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex (BMAC), from as far away as Central Asia and northern Afghanistan, 1,000 miles to the northwest.
