~Pakistan: A Peoples History~
Part II: Stone age Soanian culture
Following the early human Riwat culture, the Soanian culture appeared in the Lower Paleolithic (early stone age) between 500,000 to 125,000 years ago in the Soan Valley of upper Punjab.
The term "Soanian Culture" was first used by Hellmut De Terra in 1936, but D. N. Wadia had identified the presence of these archaeological implements in 1928. Two important Soanian culture sites are Adiyala and Khasala, about 16 km (9.9 mi) from Rawalpindi terrace on the bend of the Soan River.
Tools up to two million years old have been recovered from these sites including hundreds of edged pebble tools, hand axes and cleavers have been found. Some of these artifacts are on display at the Pakistan Museum of Natural History in Islamabad.
Other Stone Age sites have been discovered at Bajaur, Makli Hill and Sanghao.
