PU team begins digging archaeological mound
Toba Tek Singh: A study group of the Punjab University
Archaeology Department (PUAD) on Tuesday started digging a mound (Tibba Sungal)
near Chak 742-GB, some 40 kilometres away from here, to trace remains of a
civilisation that existed nearly 400 years before Christ.
The 65-foot
high mound is erected on a chunk of land measuring around 10 acres near river
Ravi.
Kamalia MNA Riaz Fatyana, who was also present at the site, said by telephone that some farmers had handed him over some old pots recovered
from the mound a few years ago.He said he had sent those pots to the archaeology
department in Multan for research, which had indicated that the pots were of 400
years before Christ period.
He said he had sent a memorandum to the Prime
Minister's Secretariat pointing out that some grabbers were trying to encroach
upon the state land and ruin the national cultural heritage.
The PUAD was
directed to dig the area on which a 35-member team, including 13 girls, started
digging on Tuesday.
Led by PUAD head Dr Farzand Maseeh, the team
recovered during Tuesday's first digging a clay lamp (chiragh), clay armbands
and some pots.
Harappa Museum in-charge Muhammad Hussain was also present
at the site. He said that he had written to officials concerned to approve a
grant of Rs1 million for the purpose but to no avail.
It is pertinent to
mention here that the Tibba Sungal site is just 30 kilometers away from Harappa
(Sahiwal).
The PU team has proposed that first encroachments should be
removed from the mound so that a large-scale research work could be carried out
expeditiously.
The team experts have also suggested that Unesco should be
requested to hold a seminar to ascertain the historical status of Kamalia. Dawn
