Since its publication in 1982, the Archaeological Gazetteer of
Afghanistan has become the main reference work for the archaeology
of Afghanistan, and the standard sites and monuments record for the
region; archaeological sites are now referred to under their
Gazetteer catalogue number as routine in academic literature, and
the volume has become a key text for developing research in the
area. This revised and updated edition has been significantly
expanded to incorporate new field-work and discoveries, as well as
older field-work more recently published, and presents new cases of
synthesis and unpublished material from private archives. New
discoveries include the Rabatak inscription detailing the genealogy
of the Kushan kings, a huge archive of Bactrian documents, Aramaic
documents from Balkh on the last days of the Persian empire, a new
Greek inscription from Kandahar, two tons of coins from Mir Zakah,
a Sasanian relief of Shapur at Rag-i Bibi, a Buddhist monastic
'city' at Kharwar, new discoveries of Buddhist art at Mes Aynak and
Tepe Narenj, and a newly revealed city at the Minaret of Jam. With
over 1500 catalogue entries, supplemented with concordance
material, site plans, drawings, and detailed maps prepared from
satellite imagery, the Archaeological Gazetteer of Afghanistan:
Revised Edition is the most comprehensive reference work on the
archaeology and monuments of the region ever undertaken.
Cataloguing all recorded sites and monuments from the earliest
times to the Timurid period, this volume will be an invaluable
contribution to the renewed interest in Afghanistan's cultural
heritage and an essential resource for students and researchers.
