"About 4 km away from the India-Pakistan border that divides the Ghaggar-Hakkra river, in the Anupgarh tehsil of Sri Ganganagar district of Rajasthan, is a site that brought to light the unknown facet of Harappan culture. Binjor is an archaeological site located in village 4(MSR). This site was reported by A Ghosh in his famous exploration of Rajputana in 1950-52, where he mentions four mounds, namely Binjor 1, Binjor 2, Binjor 3 and Binjor 4. Katy Dalal set up a trail trench at Binjor 3 and noticed Pre-Harappan deposits at a depth of 1.75m in the 1970s", says Disha Ahluwalia.
