New Dimensions Of Ancient Heritage Explored In Soan Valley

A team of Taxila Institute of Asian Civilizations, Quaid-i-Azam University, has embarked on a gigantic project to explore new dimensions of Pakistan’s rich heritage in the Soan valley. Under the supervision of internationally-known anthropologist, historian and scholar Dr Ahmad Hassan Dani, the Indusians Research Cell (IRC) consisting of geo-physicists, anthropologists, archaeologists, historians, chemists, biologists, economists and young researchers, are devoted to bring new dimensions of research about the heritage. The 86-year-old anthropologist is still energetic to work for building theological ground of ancient Pakistan.

Quaid-i-Azam University is one of the leading research institutes of the country having its natural as well as social sciences departments where multidimensional research work is going on. The QAU Vice-Chancellor Dr U.A.D. Esani is kind enough to encourage research activities in the university. Under the slogan ‘Save civilization, save mother earth’, the IRC team has recently started surface collection at eight sites at Soan valley, which is considered as the laboratory for geological, anthropological and archaeological studies.

Earlier remains of ‘anthropoid ape’ and ‘Potoharmans’, discovered by German scholars S.B. Leakey and her husband in the valley have been declared as the grandfather of human race.

The IRC team had set up its camp at a small town, Chakbeli Khan, about 60km southwest of Rawalpindi. Chakbeli Khan has an important central position in the area, wherefrom traders, travellers of the surroundings are connected with small villages of the area.

The first site was Bains or Vains as called by the local people, a 16-feet mound, spreading on an area of about four acres, surrounded by rich agricultural land. The others sites are Dhudhumber, Salmoon, Pind, Ghai, Gheela Kalan, Khai Dhok, and Banian. The landowners are extending their fields towards the mound. A mosque has recently been constructed near the mound.

There are remains of foundation walls of a complete room and two independent walls. A piece of conglomerate block is also distinguished on the surface. Pottery pieces are scattered on and around the mound even in the fields. People have found coins, pottery, jewellry and statues of various kinds during their agricultural work. During the surface collection materials like coins, pottery, terracotta, bones etc., of about three different periods were found.

Many pieces of bones of humans and animals have been collected that will need expert suggestions of physical anthropologists who may be able to determine the age and sex of individuals. It will also help us understand biological interpretations about their diet.

Numismatics of the Bains consisted of three dynasties — Muslim, the Hindu Shahi and the earliest Kushan periods. Thirty-two coins have been collected while more searches are going on. Among the other finds the main assemblage of artifacts is pottery. The entire surface of the site is littered with herds of pot shreds, bases, rims, glazed dishes, jars etc. Clay of the area is fine, making it easy to work on its surface in an artistic manner.

A huge quantity of pottery painted with animals, plants and other motifs on them tells the epic stories. It is easy to say that pottery manufacturing process consisted of quality of the clay, which are well levigated and extremely well-fired and burnt. The thickness of the pottery is 0.3 to 1.1cm.

Lingam pieces were also found during the surface collection. Terracotta of the area has significance due to its affinities with Harrapan style. Constructional remains: Three walls appear on the surface having about 5-6 feet depth in the mound, though the remaining walls are completely out of sight. One foundation of a room, measuring 8×14 feet has four walls clearly appeared on the surface, while the width of the wall is 1.5 feet.

Miscellaneous findings: though our objects were spreading around we searched unique material to join the missing links. A rich cultural complex of artifacts opened up many other dimensions in this regard. The pot shreds of various kinds had a great similarity to Kotdijian style. Like other findings our miscellaneous objects were beads, buttons, terracotta cakes, jewellry, lamps, bangles, nip of an arrow etc.

The material findings at Bains leads to many periods, survived in its dead mound, stories of different dynasties, ranging from the mature Indus valley civilization to Kushan, Hindu Shahi and Muslims.

A proper chronological order of the area could be made through institutional efforts. More attention from the government, concerned ministries, local people and scholars is needed for its protection and preservation to save the rich national heritage.

IRC Hacks


IRC Hacks


$19.48


IRC (Internet Relay Chat) may very well turn out to be the world’s most successful hack. In 1988, Jarkko Oikarinen wrote the original IRC program at the University of Oulu, Finland. As he says in his foreword, "IRC started as one summer trainee’s programming exercise. A hack grew into a software development project that hundreds of people participated in, and then became a worldwide environment where tens of thousands of people now spend time with each other. I have found many of my friends through IRC and learnt a significant part of my present software engineering knowledge while using and working with IRC. That would not have been possible without learning from code examples and hacks from others". IRC has continued to grow in popularity since its inception. Millions of people from all over the world now use IRC to chat with friends, discuss projects and collaborate on research. With a simple, clearly defined protocol, IRC has become one of the most accessible chat environments, with clients written for a multitude of operating systems. And IRC is more than just a simple chat system it is a network of intercommunicating servers, allowing thousands of clients to connect from anywhere in the world using the IRC protocol. While IRC is easy to get into and many people are happy to use it without being aware of what’s happening under the hood, there are those who hunger for more knowledge, and this book is for them. IRC Hacks is a collection of tips and tools that cover just about everything needed to become a true IRC master, featuring contributions from some of the most renowned IRC hackers, many of whom collaborated on IRC, grouping together to form the channel #irchacks on the freenode IRC network (irc.freenode.net). Like all of our Hacks books, there are many different ways to use IRC Hacks. You can read the book from cover to cover, but you might be better served by picking an interesting item from the table of contents and just diving in. If you’re relatively new to IRC, you should considering starting with a few hacks from each progressive chapter. Chapter 1 starts you off by showing you how to connect to IRC, while Chapter 2 acquaints you with the everyday concepts you’ll need to use IRC effectively. Chapter 3 is all about users and channels, and introduces the first pieces of code. Chapter 4 shows you how to make useful enhancements to IRC clients. Chapter 5 is where you will learn the basics about creating IRC bots, with Chapters 6-12 introducing more complex bots that can be used for logging, servicing communities, searching, announcing, networking, managing channels or simply for having fun. Chapter 13 delves into the IRC protocol in more detail, and Chapter 14 demonstrates some interesting alternative methods for connecting to IRC. Finally, Chapter 15 will move you on to new pastures by showing you how to set up your own IRC server. This book presents an opportunity to learn how IRC works and …
