Sami Cemetery
BalochistanCemeteryProtected
Between one and two km before reaching Sami by the road from Turbat and Shahrak, the barren stretches of the piedmont north of the rod is occupied by a huge cemetery of cairns. The rectangular cairns are oriented east-west, like those in Zangian. On the western edge of the cemetery there is a group of bigger cairns. A female anthropomorphic jug was found there. The site is associated with Zangian Period (2nd Century BCE - 2nd Century CE).
