Archaeological Reconnaissances in North-Western India and South-Eastern Īrān : vol.1 |

Those two vessels and some others had been laid bare low down in a rift which
rain had washed out in the high bank. The careful search I caused to be made
along this bank failed to trace any other pottery. But before long a fragment of
the same grey ware, with a hachured pattern painted in black, was discovered
by one of the men within about 12 yards of the find-spot indicated in a hollow
marking a shaft on a former alinement of the qanāt. Here were also recovered
in quick succession three fragments, Fan. 015, of a large shallow bowl showing
within, in the centre part of a hachured Svastika and on the inside of the rim,
triangles exactly like the motifs common on bowls of funeral furniture at Shāhī-
tump.⁶ Two more fragments of a small grey cup, decorated with triangles out-
side the rim, and part of a plain red jar with a very pronounced bulge, as common
at Shāhī-tump and other chalcolithic sites, Fan. 1, 012, strikingly completed the
evidence. Subsequently another tall beaker, Fan. 013 (Pl. VI), was found in the
possession of one of the local cultivators, and purchased.
Owing to the depth of the alluvium under which these relics of a prehistoric
culture had been originally found, systematic excavations would have claimed
too much time, and a trench cut to the south of the hollow failed to reveal any
potsherds. But the objects thus accidentally recovered at Fanūch sufficed to raise
hopes that my expectation of coming upon remains of prehistoric occupation
within the basin watered by the Bampūr river would prove justified, and supplied
an additional reason to hasten northward.
