The Mehrgarh civilization was discovered in 1974 in Balochistan, Pakistan. It consisted of various periods from 7000 BC to 2600 BC, as evidenced by artifacts found at the site. The artifacts included human figurines, pottery that evolved from simple to more complex designs, and burial sites. The Mehrgarh site has experienced damage from erosion and weathering over time. Restoration efforts have sought to stabilize structures, preserve artifacts, and increase security, though lack of funding remains a challenge. As one of Pakistan's most significant archaeological sites from the Indus Valley Civilization, Mehrgarh contributes to the country's economy through tourism revenue and related jobs.
Excavation Methods in Archaeological Research & StudiesPrachya Adhyayan
Â
Excavation is the scientific way and method of removing objects and uncovering stationary features that have been concealed by later deposits. In other words, excavation is the removal of the matrix in order to discover and retrieve archaeological data from beneath the ground, thereby revealing the three dimensional structure of the data and matrix both vertically and horizontally.

The Indus Valley Civilisation (IVC) was a Bronze Age civilisation (3300â1300 BCE; mature period 2600â1600 BCE) mainly in the northwestern regions of the South Asia, extending from what today is northeast Afghanistan to Pakistan and northwest India.
Along with ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia it was one of three early civilisations of the Old World, and of the three, the most widespread.
It flourished in the basins of the Indus River, which flows through the length of Pakistan, and along a system of perennial, mostly monsoon-fed, rivers that once coursed in the vicinity of the seasonal Ghaggar-Hakra river in northwest India and eastern Pakistan.

The Indus Valley Civilization was an ancient civilization located in what is Pakistan and northwest India today, on the fertile flood plain of the Indus River and its vicinity. Evidence of religious practices in this area date back approximately to 5500 BCE. Farming settlements began around 4000 BCE and around 3000 BCE there appeared the first signs of urbanization. By 2600 BCE, dozens of towns and cities had been established, and between 2500 and 2000 BCE the Indus Valley Civilization was at its peak.

3. DISCOVERY
īļ This site was discovered in 1974 by an archaeological team led by French archaeologists
Jean-Francois Jarrige and his wife, Catherine Jarrige.
īļ Region: South Asia
īļ Period: Neolithics
4. Location In Pakistan
īļ Situated on the Kacchi Plain of Balochistan in Pakistan.
īļ Located near the Bolan Pass, to the west of the Indus River.
īļ Between the modern-day Pakistani cities Quetta, Kalat and Sibbi.
5. âŖ DIVISION OF MEHRGARH
CIVILIZATION
âŖ IN DIFFERENT ERASâĻ
6. First Period
īļ Earliest period of Mehrgarh is characterized by polished stone tools
and bone tools. In this phase the subsistence economy consisted of a
combination of hunting, stock-breeding and plant cultivation.
īļ The domesticated animals comprise cattle, sheep, goat and water
buffalo while the cultivated plants comprise several varieties of
wheat and barley.
īļ The houses were made of mud and mud-bricks.
7. Second Period
īļ This period has left evidences of handmade, basket-
impressed coarse ware. There was emergence of wheel-made
pottery painted in reddish and black color with simple
straight and curved lines, rows of dots and crisscrosses.
īļ Metal technology started , evident from the discovery of a
copper ring and a bead.
8. Third Period
īļ The Vessels were now decorated with paintings of birds and
animals as also with geometric designs. Oats and another
variety of wheat was added to the agriculture.
īļ Stone bead manufacturing and copper smelting started.
9. Fourth Period
īļ Emergence of polychrome pottery with a tall goblet with
wide mouth and a pedestal base as a new shape.
īļ Extensive use of timber in the construction of houses.
10. Fifth Period
īļ A marked decline in polychrome decoration on pottery.
Sixth Period
īļ Dramatically increase in pottery styles and the first evidence
of pottery kilns.
īļ Pipal leaf and humped bull designs appear on pottery which
anticipate Harappan motifs.
11. Seventh Period
īļ Richness and variety of terracotta figurines very much
similar to the Indus Valley Civilization.
īļ Emergence of monumental architecture evident from a large
brick platform.
Eighth Period
īļ Structured graves, semi-precious stone beads and a bronze
shaft-hole axe.
13. HUMAN FIGURINES
īļ At Mehrgarh, archaeologists discovered South
Asiaâs first clay figurines.
īļ They were common even before pottery and the
first figurine quite simplistic.
īļ The time goes on they become more sophisticated
and around 4000 BC all the figurines were woman.
īļ They were consider as âmother goddessesâ
because they were often seen cradling infants.
īļ After sixth period there were more figurines of
male.
14. BURIALS
īļ The Mehrgarh site contains two different types of graves.
īļ There were both individual burials, where a single person
was confined in thin mud walls, and collective burials,
where the skeletons of six different people were found
inside thin mud-brick walls.
15. POTTERY
īļ Pottery is first mentioned in second period.
īļ As the potterâs wheel is developed in third
period, the findings become much more
common and exhibit more sophisticated
patterns as wall as animal motifs.
17. THE DAMAGE
īļ The site is considered to be an open air museum and not many measures were taken for its
preservation.
īļ The site was exposed to the natural elements, and over time it was effected by erosion,
weathering, and other forms of damage.
18. RESTORATION EFFORTS
īļ In light of the damage sustained by the site, various efforts have been made to restore and
preserve Mehrgarh.
īļ These efforts have included stabilizing the site's architecture, preserving its artifacts, and
increasing security to protect the site from looting.
īļ Additionally, conservationists have also been working on preserving the geological
structures and promoting sustainable tourism.
19. CONTINUING CHALLENGES
īļ Despite the restoration efforts, there are still several challenges to preserving Mehrgarh.
One of the major challenges is the lack of funding and resources for ongoing preservation
efforts. Another challenge is the lack of trained personnel to carry out preservation work.
Additionally, the site is still exposed to the elements, and there is always the risk of
natural disasters like floods.
īļ It's worth noting that the Mehrgarh is an ongoing excavation and preservation process,
and things are subject to change as new discoveries and understanding of the site are
made.
21. īļ Archaeological sites can make a significant contribution to a country's economy,
particularly in terms of tourism.
īļ In Pakistan, there are many ancient sites and ruins that attract both domestic and
international tourists.
īļ For example, Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa are two of the most significant archaeological
sites in the country, and they are both UNESCO World Heritage sites.
22. īļ These ancient cities were part of the Indus Valley Civilization, which is one of the earliest
civilizations in the world.
īļ Tourism is a major industry in Pakistan and the government has been working to promote
it as a way to boost the economy.
īļ In addition to the revenue generated by ticket sales and souvenirs, archaeological sites
can also help to create jobs in the tourism sector, such as tour guides, hotel and restaurant
staff, and transportation providers.
