Historicity

This paper traces the Neolithic civilization unearthed at Mehrgarh, located in the Karachi Plain of Balochistan in Pakistan. Since its discovery by eminent French archaeologist Jean-François Jarrige in 1974, this site has offered important clues to life prior to the Indus Valley Civilization. Here, we make a note of the archaeological significance of the site and the lifestyle and technology of the Mehrgarh peoples through periods I to VIII.
