But in the recent years several researchers have documented rock carvings in the other areas of Pakistan too which include the areas of Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The present researcher found some undocumented rock carvings in Chitral which are the focus of this paper.IntroductionDistrict Chitral, located between 71°12' and 73° 53' east longitude and between 35° 13' and 36° 55' north latitude, representing the northwestern boundaries of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, is the most secluded region of the Province but is famous for its rich Cultural heritage throughout the world. Chitral is bordered with Afghan provinces of Badakhshan in the west and Wakhan in the north, the Northern Areas of Pakistan in the east, and the Districts of Dir and Swat ino the south (Ali et al 2002: 647).Previous ResearchesThe petroglyphs have been reported from different regions of Pakistan especially the Northern Areas (Now Gilgit-Baltistan). Around 50,000 Petroglyphs and inscriptions have been documented by the German Expedition under the supervisions of Karl Jettmar, Herald Hauptman and Ahmad Hassan Dani in the Northern Areas of Pakistan. Italian scholars, especially Olivieri and Vidale have also documented many rock art sites in Swat valley (Olivieri and Vidale 2004, 2005). A few rock art sites have also been reported from Balochistan (Qamar 19761986). The two rock-art sites of Chiniot have also been reported by Pakistani scholars (Mughal 1999; Hayat 2001; and Saleem 2002) Recently, a number of rock art-sites have been documented by Kalhoro (2009, 2010, 2011) in Dadu and Larkana districts of Sindh which belonged to different periods.As far as District Chitral is concerned, it was Sir Aurel Stein who for the first time reported the Pakhtoradini and Charun rock carvings of a stupa and Brahmi inscription, and rock carvings near Moroi (Stein 1921: 34-40). Moreover, Nasim Khan has added a few more petroglyph sites at Jhondak, Gumast and Shoor Guucch (Khan 2002: 179-181). A large number of petroglyphs at different regions of District Chitral belonged to both Pre-historic and Historicity periods. The historic period engravings mostly represent the Buddhist carvings of stupa which were documented by the Archaeological Survey of District Chitral conducted by Directorate of Archaeology and Museums, NWFP (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) in 2004 (Ali etal 2005: 91-100). Alberto Cacopardo revisited the rock carvings mentioned by Sir Aurel Stein (Cacopardo 2007: 377-389).The Present FindingsThe newly discovered petroglyphs in District Chitral were found in the Parwak valley which is located about 95 km north-east of Chitral town. Previously, Sir Aurel Stein (1921) mentioned about the presence of a fort belonging to a Muslim saint, Darbatoshali Noghor in the area. Ali and Zahir explored Gandhara Grave sites dated back to 1600 B.C (Ali etal, 2005: 135-182).The present findings were result of accidental discovery when I was taken by a local friend to the three different rock art sites. (PI. 1). Due to non-availability of equipment and not enough time, we just took simple photographs and rough measurements. Most of the petroglyphs were re-chalked by the local people and it became quite difficult to know the exact nature of original engravings. These petroglyphs are also under threat due to quarrying activities by the local contractor for the newly under construction Parwak - Mastuj road.PetroglyphsA. Tor LashtThe site is located north of Parwak Bala on the left side of new ParwakMastuj Road. A large number of petroglyphs were documented which were mostly re-chalked by local inhabitants. These petroglyphs included anthropomorhs, animals, hunting scenes and dancing figures (P1, 2, 3, 4, 5).B. NasargolThis site is also located close by towards west of previous site. …" @default.
