Mehrgarh, Neolithic archaeological site in Dhadar, Pakistan

The excavation site spans 500 acres and contains multiple layers of ancient settlements with mud-brick structures and agricultural remains from different periods.

French archaeologists uncovered this settlement in 1974, revealing evidence of human occupation and farming practices dating back to 7000 BCE.

The inhabitants manufactured copper tools, created intricate pottery designs, and maintained underground storage facilities for grains and agricultural products.

The location near Bolan Pass established Mehrgarh as a central point for trade caravans traveling between Afghanistan, Iran, China, and the Indian subcontinent.

Archaeological findings indicate a population between 10,000 and 20,000 people during 5000 BCE, representing a significant portion of the subcontinent's total inhabitants.
