Brief description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

A man-made subterranean water channel is reported by SIMPSON (1881: 194): At Hidda [note 1] there can still be seen the remains of a rock-cut Karaise [karez, kariz, qanat] which is now waterless. SIMPSON (1882a: 328; 1882b) confirms: … at Hada there is a rock-cut conduit under the mounds at that place and we may safely assume its date tobe as far back as the Buddhist period (SIMPSON 1881: 194).
