Faisalabad: A Land of Six Millennium Years’ Heritage

Abstract

The current study is to explore the archaeological significance of Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan. Spanning the Early Harappan era (3500 BC) to the 18^th century AD, these sites offer insights into the six millennium years’ cultural heritage of Faisalabad. Despite their historical significance, they remain largely unexcavated, concealing valuable information about ancient civilizations and cultural transformations. This study highlights the importance of preserving and excavating these sites to reconstruct Punjab's cultural heritage and contribute to a deeper understanding of Pakistan's history. The findings underscore the need for conservation efforts, further research, and community engagement to protect and promote the region's archaeological heritage. By shedding light on the region's hidden history, this study aims to inform policy decisions, promote cultural tourism, and foster a sense of ownership among local communities to preserve their cultural heritage.
