Akra has been known to scholars, though not explored in any depth, since the middle of the last century, and untouched by the modem archaeologist until 1995. In 1995 the work of the Bannu Archaeological Project began at Akra.

A much earlier site in this area, Sheri Khan Tarakai was also explored by the Bannu Archaeological Project.
