Excavations at the Later Prehistoric Site of Lewan, North-West Frontier Province, Pakistan

Introduction The Bannu Archaeological Project (BAP) has been reconstructing past settlement and subsistence patterns in Bannu Division, North-West Frontier Province, Pakistan, since 1985. The Bannu area (Fig. 1) covers approximately 5000 km2 and is primarily defined by its geomorphology, in that it represents a distinct unit that is almost completely surrounded by folded and faulted Plio-Pleistocene geology of the Siwalik Series (Rendell 1981: 219).
