The Kulli culture was a prehistoric culture in southern Balochistan (Pakistan) which flourished between 2500 BCE to 2000 BCE. 

The pottery and other artifacts are similar to those of the Indus Valley Civilization in Sindh and Punjab, but it is not clear whether

the Kulli culture is a local variation of the Indus Valley Civilization or its own culture complex.
