Abstract
This article reports on the latest data provided by the 2015 excavation campaign at the
Early Historic urban site of Bīr-koṭ-ghwaṇḍai, Swat (N Pakistan). This campaign
followed on from an intensive 4-year excavation phase carried out inside the SW quarter
of the ancient town (2011-2013), as well as outside the SW corner of the city wall (2014).
The new campaign focused on a portion of the external area, and revealed a complex
sequence of constructions, collapses and abandonment of the urban defenses of the site.
The new data are compared with others from previous excavation campaigns in the same
site.
