Abstract
Little is known of the biological history of ethnic groups occupying the Hindu Kush and Karakoram
highlands of northern Pakistan. The inhabitants of Madaklasht live within the Shishi Koh Valley
of Chitral District, the most northerly district of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan
(Fig. l). This valley is well-known for its lush green appearance and the fertility of its soils,
which yield rich agricultural produce. Much of the valley is inhabited by Gujars, whose traditional
occupation is the tending of goats, sheep, and to a much lesser extent, cattle. Various passes
connect the Shishi Koh Valley to other valleys, such as Porott Gol and Goreen Gol, which permit
communication with populations in Dir Kohistan, while Dokwan, Ghochar and Radghali pmsses connect
Shishi Koh to the Golain Valley.
