Ghar-i-Murdah Gusfand. Gharluli, Faryab Province.

July 1969
Every bit of soil from the trenches was passed through screens to recover possible artifacts. The preliminary 1969 excavations revealed artifacts that appeared to be a Middle Palaeolithic industry, but the 1970 excavations did not confirm this. More investigation is necessary.
