ABSTRACT
Baluchistan is a region whose archaeological potential is only beginning to be recognised despite the wealth of sites revealed by Sir Aurel Stein's exploration in the 1920's. The 1948 survey aimed to trace the southerly limits of a ware first noted near Quetta and subsequently shown to spread through southern Afghanistan. The first survey was carried out during local leave in April, 1948, when she was an Assistant UK Trade Commissioner in Pakistan. On returning to England his commitments to the Council for British Archaeology made it necessary to carry out the 1957 survey during the summer. The work, sponsored by the Royal Asiatic Society, was made possible by grants from the Leverhulme Research Fellowship, the Pilgrim Trust, the British Academy, the Russell Trust, the University of London, and the Society of Antiquaries of London. As on the previous occasion, officials in Kalat were ever helpful, in particular Mirza Rahimtulla Khan, then Tehsildar of Surab, Saleh Shah, Naib Tehsildar, Khuzdar.
