Abstract
Pottery is the most essential element that characterizes a culture or civilization; its evolution
and devolution; and reflecting socio-religious information. Ceramic collected from various
ancient archaeological sites has many identical aspects in terms of shape, design and color
that provide ample stuff for researchers to discover about the past human societies. Among
all the sites of Indus Civilization on the Gomal Plain, Gandi Umar Khan (Rehman, 1997;
Khan et al 2000; Ali and Jan, 2005), yielded a very rich collection of pottery from the
surface as well as archaeological context (Jan 2008; Ali and Jan 2009). Although the pottery
from Gandi Umar Khan is mainly plain but some specific motifs of geometrical, floral and
faunal type have also been found in good amount. However, the geometric designs are the
most common with good variation
