Detail of the Multan plain, with the traces of the old Ravi course and the linear features identified as potential abandoned inundation canals. The detail images show how the features are represented as lines of small mounds (A), disused canals (B) or positive relief (C, D). Often the features show a close relationship with mounds identified as Early Historical or Medieval sites (in A Ratta Bhir, identified by the PAS as a site occupied between the first century BCE until twelfth century CE), Medieval sites (B two mounds identified by the PAS as medieval sites, eighth–fifteenth centuries CE)
