After the discovery and excavation of Burzahom, other Neolithic sites were discovered in Kashmir at places such as GOFKRAL, Begagund, Brah, Hariparigom, Pampur, Panzogom, Sombur all located on karewas mainly in the south-east parts of the Kashmir valley.
Historians and archeologists say Gofkral is a site of tremendous archaeological and historical importance. They believed many things could be known if proper excavation and preservation of the antiquities found in this site is carried out in a sustained manner. Historians say the British took away some antiquities from here in the past that are still with them, adding charm to their museums in London. “Some stolen pieces of utensils, etc are still there in the Royal Museum of London”, points out Muhammad Ashraf Tak, Chief Editor in Academy of Art, Culture and Languages, Srinagar.
