	Discours de M. Pierre Charasse, ambassadeur de France, à l’occasion de la visite à Mehrgarh du ...
		Mehrgarh was the first site in South Asia where clear evidence of a human settlement was found, along with evidence of human transformation towards cultivation with ample evidence of a linkage with that of Moenjodaro in the Indus Valley, which was to appear much later.
		It was even more disappointing to discover that a great deal of the objects which had been discovered by Professor Jarrige and his team had been sold out on the market and are now totally lost, not only for the archaeologist but for the whole of the Balochistan and Pakistan alike.
		This is why also I want to congratulate the Provincial authorities for the decision to build in Quetta, a new museum, where not only Mehrgarh will be given its due share, but were the culture of the whole of Balochistan will be finally made available to its people.
