The Sukkur and Rohri Hills region in Sindh is well-known as a major source of high-quality chert used for mass-producing blades during the Harappan period.

This region provided the raw material (chert) that was then processed into blades on a large scale and supplied to various Harappan settlements in the Indus Valley, highlighting organized resource exploitation and distribution networks.

Khetri in Rajasthan is known for its copper mines exploited by Harappans. While Harappan sites existed in Baluchistan and near Chagai Hills, Sukkur and Rohri Hills are specifically famous for large-scale chert blade production supplying sites in Sindh.
