Paleolithic sites in Potohar near Pakistan's capital Islamabad, will yield the stone tools of the Soan Culture, an archaeological culture of the Lower Paleolithic (from around 1,800,000 to about 300,000 BP) in Pakistan, contemporary to the Acheulean.

It is named after the Soan River Valley in the Sivalik Hills, Pakistan.

The bearers of this culture are thought to be Homo erectus.

Hundreds of edged pebble tools will be discovered in Adiyala and Khasala, about sixteen kilometers (ten miles) from Rawalpindi terrace on the bend of the river.

Hand axes and cleavers will be found at Chauntra.

No human skeletons of this age have yet been found.
