Abstract

Since 1985, members of the Bannu Archaeological Project have been engaged in a long term research programme investigating the Prehistoric and Historic period archaeology of the Bannu Basin, which lies in the North West Frontier Province (N.W.F.P.), Pakistan. The survey and excavation of numerous Late Prehistoric archaeological sites, including Sheri Khan Tarakai, Girdai, Ter Kala Dheri, Lak Largai, Lewan, Islam Chowki and Tarakai Qila, and excavation of Historic period occupation at Ter Kala Dheri and the great mound site of Akra have shown that there is a clearly defined and often highly distinctive cultural sequence for the Bannu region that spans the period between c.4000 BC and c.AD 1200 (see Figure 1). . . .
