Burzahom

Location

Archaeologically very important place in Srinagar, Burzahom is in the northwest of beautiful Shalimar Gardens. Lying on the cradle of an ancient lake that is dried up now, Burzahom stands for 'place of birch' in local language and has the legacy of the first Neolithic site to be exposed in Jammu and Kashmir.

This excavation site brought out many valuable ancient artifacts supposed to be old more than 5000 years. The archaeologically important materials collected include arrowheads, animal skeletons, implements, tools and pots from the Neolithic age.
