Prehistoric Flint Quarries

7. Flint Quarries.

The presence of Harappan flint workshops in the hills close to Rohri had been discovered by Bridget Allchin in 1975. The impressive mining activity in the hills is particularly well-represented near Shadee Shaheed. The 1993-96 surveys discovered more than 2,000 quarries and workshops. A number of quarries are visible in the background, which makes the profile of the limestone terrace wavy.
