Nausharo is an archaeological site dating back to the Harappan period, located in Balochistan, Pakistan.
The excavations were carried out between 1985 and 1996 by a French team of archaeologists, under the direction of Jean-François Jarrige.
The blades showed use-wear traces that indicates their usage in shaving clay while shaping pottery on a potter's wheel.
The excavated blades were compared to experimentally produced replica blades used for a variety of other activities such as harvesting and processing of silica-rich plants, hide processing, and hand-held use for shaping clay; however, the use-wear traces were almost identical to the excavated blades when used with a mechanical potter's wheel in the shaping of clay pots.
Also significant was the discovery of copper traces found on the platforms of two blades examined with a scanning electron microscope and X ray analysis.
