(重定向自Potwar Plateau)




The Pothohar Plateau (Urdu:سطح مُرتفع پوٹھوہار; alternatively spelled Potohar or Pothwar, is also known as the Panjistan) is a plateau in north-eastern Pakistan, forming the northern part of Punjab. It borders the western parts of Azad Kashmir and the southern parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The region was once the home of the ancient Soanian culture, which is evidenced by the discovery of fossils, tools, coins, and remains of ancient archaeological sites.
