My research in 1993-1994 focused on the marine fisheries of a
small Baluch fishing village near Hawkes Bay, just west of Karachi,
Pakistan. My main research goals were to examine traditional fishing and
butchery practices in order to construct models in order to interpret faunal
remains that were recovered from various sites of the Indus Valley
Tradition (3300 -1800 B.C.). Two modes of fishing occur within the village that I worked in -
near shore fishing and inshore fishing.
