Title
Conservation of marine cultural heritage and associated tribes of balochistan
Description
This paper will focus on conservation of marine cultural heritage and associated tribes of coastal villages of Balochistan
from Goth Haji Alano near Sindh border to Jiwani near Iranian Border. To take environmental implications of underwater
heritage important sites will be mapped through recent regional surveys and new approaches will be suggested to save it.
On the other hand this coastal area has been populated from prehistoric times to till now. Indus valley civilization
Alexander’s expeditions in the region up to now and the whole historical period is full of accounts of these ports and
fishermen. The current research project comprises wide-ranging survey and mapping of cultural heritage around these
coastal villages and coastline at some selected using ArcGIS. A field survey was conducted in September and October
2022 in order to collect archaeological, botanical zoological material and also GPS-generated tracks and locations were
produced. The results show at some sites from two to four overlapping periods in different regions. Primarily, sites
identified near associated villages and also coastal areas date back to circa 2700 BCE. This paper will highlight the forms
evolving from the research and field data and propose interpretation of both environmental and archaeological heritage.
