This paper presents a study on a surface collection of pottery from the site located right above the Kargah Buddha, in the larger complex area of Naupura-Kargah monastery in Gilgit. This is the site from where Gilgit Manuscripts have been recovered. Here, we offer a discussion on the background of pottery studies with broader geographical reference to Gilgit-Baltistan in the opening paragraphs. Next, in the second portion we deal with the previous studies about the site, leading to the statement elaborating the scope of study. A descriptive study of twenty-two (22) selected samples is the next in the series. An analytical discussion on this data with reference to typological classification reveals seventeen types of rims, is ultimately helping us to extract the results offered in concluding part of the study, can be dated somewhere between 2nd to 9th centuries AD.
