Abstract
The transition between Paleolithic culture to Neolithic culture developed another phase of Stone Age called Mesolithic. It was a transformation from hunting phase to farming phase of human prehistoric culture. The Mesolithic period was important because of new techniques developed for making small size flint-chert chipped tools called microliths. Discovery of Mesolithic sites in the Mulri Hill of Karachi is an important addition in discoveries of other Mesolithic sites in the Thar Desert region of Sindh in Pakistan and Rajasthan in India. The exploration of Mesolithic settlements in the Mulri Hill was started in late 1960s when it was a barren scarp mesa. In 1980 Mulri Hill was announced part of urban housing scheme which is nowan urban housing settlement. Fortunately the stone assemblage discovered from the Mulri Hill in late 1960s and 1970s have been preserved in the Geography Department of Karachi University. It is important that this important discovery must be known to researchers for further studies in the Mesolithic age of Pakistan.
