The antiquity of Waziristan is established by the mention of the river Kramu and Gomatī in the *Rig-Veda* (x, 75), which are identified with the present Kurram and Gumal in this region.⁷ But the architectural structures discovered are nothing more than ‘ remains of rubble-built walls as well as single courses of large uncut stones at varying levels. They are likely to have served as wall foundations or floorings.’¹
