Abstract
Kharan is a district of Balochistan which is very famous for its amazing and wonderful archaeological sites. The historic and pre-historic sites can be seen everywhere in the sandy and rocky areas of Kharan. The archaeological sites of this area are different than the other sites of Balochistan. It is full of ancient and strange Tombs, Great walls (may be ancient dams), forts, castles and large number of mounds and other kind of ancient belongings. But still this important heritage is concealed and hidden. This area is like a paradise for archaeologists, anthropologists and historians. This area was the capital of Nausherwani Nawabs during Khanate period of Kalat. This is mostly a sandy and rocky area and divided into two districts, one is called Washuk and the other one is called Kharan district. Both of these areas have very good and interesting archaeological sites. The objectives behind this work are; to display the historic and prehistoric sites of Kharan and their importance, and also highlight the present condition of these sites.
