The Acheulian workshop of Ziarat Pir Shaban 1 (ZPS1). The Acheulian is a Paleolithic Culture (about 50,000 B.C.) characterized by the presence of bifaces and handaxes. Very little is known about the culture.
The exact date of the Ziarat Pir Shaban Late Palaeolithic site is difficult to establish. It is reasonable to attribute it to the start of the middle Palaeolithic period, or some 100,000 years ago.

Around the Tomb of Adam Sultan many late Paleolithic workshops were found. Some were of impressive diameter. The most characteristic tools are subpyramidal bladelet cores.
The surface of one of the late Palaeolithic workshops discovered in the survey of February 1997. One pyramidal, bladelet core is in the middle of the slide.
