Its landscape embraces environments from the high mountains of the Hindu Kush to the Oxus basin and the great deserts of Sistan; trade routes from China to the Mediterranean, and from Central Asia to the Arabian Sea cross the country. It has seen the development of early agriculture, the spread of Bronze Age civilisation of Central Asia, the conquests of the Persians and of Alexander of Macedon, the spread of Buddhism and then Islam, and the empires of the Kushans, Ghaznavids, Ghurids and Timurids centred there, with ramifications across southern Asia. All of which has resulted in some of the most important, diverse and spectacular historical remains in Asia.First published in 1978, this was the first book in English to provide a complete survey of the immensely rich archaeological remains of Afghanistan. The contributors, all acknowledged scholars in their field, have worked in the country, on projects ranging from prehistoric surveys to the study of Islamic architecture. It has now been thoroughly revised and brought up to date to incorporate the latest discoveries and research.About the editors:Original edition edited by Raymond Allchin and Norman HammondRevised and updated edition edited by Warwick Ball with Norman HammondNew to this edition:New interpretation of the Afghan Bronze Age within the broader context of the recently identified Oxus and Helmand CivilisationsReports on excavations completed after the first edition, such as Shortughaï and KandaharExcavations revealing Achaemenid, Greek and Kushan discoveries at and near Balkh, Achaemenid levels at Herat, and spectacular Buddhist remains at Kabul and Mes AynakRevised discussions of Graeco-Bactrian and Kushan coinageMajor revisions of Kushan and later pre-Islamic history based on the recent discovery of the Rabatak Bactrian inscription and the Bactrian documentsOther major discoveries such as the Greek Sophytos inscription from Kandahar, the Sasanian cave painting at Ghulbiyan, the Sasanian rock relief at Rag-i Bibi, and many othersImportant early Islamic urban remains revealed at the Minaret of Jam with extensive related fortifications systems extending over a vast areaExtended bibliography with almost twice the number of new titlesNearly 500 illustrations, nearly all new and mostly in colourContributorsRaymond Allchin (1923-2010), formerly University of CambridgeWarwick Ball, Near Eastern archaeologistOlivier Bordeaux, Délégation Archéologique Française en Afghanistan (DAFA)Sophia Bowlby, Loughborough UniversityRichard S.
