Baluchi Fishing Village: Dhoter Fish Remains, Balakot

	21. Dhoter Fish Remains, Balakot
Also recovered from Balakot were the distinctive neurocrania of the dhoter fish (Pomadasys hasta). This fish account for almost 60% of all the fish remains at Balakot. Neurocrania and other cranial remains are concentrated in very distinct areas of the site. Based on the ethnographic research I conducted, this pattern is consistent with a commercial operation for drying.
