The land of Balochistan has produced a number of ancient
cultures. These cultures have diffused together and give the oldest
and first settlement in the shape of Mehrgarh civilization at Subcontinent. This region has been the cradle of civilizations for
thousands of years. The archaeological sites could be found
everywhere in Balochistan. Balochistan remained the gateway
between the civilizations of West and East and this continued till the
arrival of Arab in Sub-continent. The present culture of Balochistan
is same as it was before thousands of years, except few cities. The
harsh and rough land of Balochistan still has same village type
culture and these cultures are unique in the World. As the
geographical condition of Balochistan is very rough and harsh, but
despite this characteristic, this land witnessed the rise and fall different civilizations throughout the World. This is the reason that
every time new archaeological material of Balochistan compels the
scholars to give new theories or previous one revised. However, the
French Archaeological led by Dr. Jean-Francois Jarrige carried out
eleventh season excavation in Mehrgarh Balochistan to established
sequence from Neolithic time to the immediate aftermath of Harappa
culture. After Carbon dating Mehrgarh became one of the oldest
civilizations of the world with both domestication of animal and
plants. The excavation of Mehrgarh established the chronology of
South Asia. Different missions from abroad and Pakistan carried out
excavation, survey and field work in Balochistan but there are
number of sites waiting for survey and excavation.
