Nodules of Chert and Quartz and Quartzite and chlorite schist which they occasionally used for heavy tools had to be imported from some distance Microliths include blades (retouched and simple), lunates, trapezes, triangles, scrapers and points and a few burins. The occurrence of one ring-stone or mace-head of quartzite among heavy tools and two small ground or polished.

        No animals would seem to have been domesticated, for among the masses of large and small animal remains, occur at least three species of deer – the Sported Deer, Hog Deer, Swamp Deer – Nilgai, The Black Buck and One-Horned Rhinoceros, but no sheep or goat.      

     The presence of rhinoceros implies that the environment provided by lakes and surrounding areas of scrub forests was congenial enough for such animals to flourish, or that the rhinoceros lived on the riverbanks, where they were hunted by men, and their carcasses brought up to the mound. Fishing also provided food, as the occurrence of pieces of carapace of tortoise and fish vertebrae show.

        The dead were buried in a highly crouched posture, preferably in north – south direction, though there are instances of other orientations as well.

No definite idea of the race to which the Stone Age man belonged can be formed, since a study of the 13 or 14 skeletons shows traits which are not only characteristic of the Mediterranid and the Veddid, but also of other racial groups.

         A clear developmental history of the succeeding stages is not yet available from any one area. The picture has to be reconstructed or pieced together from scenes here and there.

        The tread of the story interrupted at Langhnaj may be picked up in Baluchistan. This is a transitional zone lying between the higher inland plateau of Central Asia and the low flat plains of Sind. Not only was the Quetta valley extensively inhabited in pre-historic times, but at a site like Kili Ghul Mohammed near Quetta, a cultural development is found.

           During the earliest period dating back to about the middle of the 4th millennium B.C., the people lived in mud-brick houses, used chert and bone tools and domesticated sheep or goat. Some kind of crop production also existed. In the next period, a basket-impressed, hand-made ware came into use. In the third, however, we see two distinctive elements which seem to form, along with the above-mentioned chert tools, the diagnostic traits of the succeeding cultures for quite a long time. They were wheel-turned, painted pottery, and copper which with the addition of tin, was not long after hardened into bronze.

        There were other chalcolithic villages distinguished from each other mainly on the basis of pottery, and sometimes also supported by other artifacts like Terracotta’s and Tools.

Encompassing the Baluchi hills were four principal culture-groups: Zhob, Quetta, Nal and Kulli.

        Southwards into the Loralai district as well, the Zhob Culture is characterized by a red ware painted over in black pigment, now and then supplemented by red, and terracotta female figurines with a grim goblinlike face. Also in use were blades, points and leaf shaped arrowheads of flint, and needles of bone; the use of copper is proved by the occurrence of a rod and a ring at one of the sites (Periano Ghundai). Houses were made of mudbricks set on boulder-foundations. There is also evidence of fortification at one of these sites (Moghul Ghundai). Cremation of the dead is indicated at some of the Zhob sites.

        The Nal is characterized by a buff ware, usually white-slipped, with attractive polychrome paintings, the basic black or sepia being supplemented by Red, Green, Yellow and Blue. Houses were built of stone rubble or mudbrick or both. Flat axes, elongated bar-celts, saws and spearheads of copper were used, and fractional burial practiced. Associated with the culture were also beads of semi-precious stones, a copper stamp-seal and a perforated stone weight.
