Archaeological significance and cultural heritage of Malakand district (Pakistan): An overview
CERES-Palais, Raum "Ruhrpott" (4.13)
This talk presents the results of Fozia Naz’s doctoral research project on the archeology of Malakand, a district of the Pakistani province of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. The painted rock shelters and remains of Buddhist settlements, Hindu temples and mountain passes all testify of the rich past of the district of Malakand in the Northwest of Pakistan. The survey and documentation of rock art, Buddhist stupas, Hindu Shahi watchtowers, and Muslim shrines that Fozia Naz carried out during her doctoral enabled her to reconstruct the cultural profile of this significant region in the northwest of Pakistan. Her analysis of Pre-Buddhist, Buddhist, Hindu Shahi and Muslim demonstrates that this region was a major hub of civilizations and an important center for religious activities.
