The ravages of war in Afghanistan have destroyed much of that country’s precious archaeological heritage, so that reports such as this may be the only record of the sites they describe. This report on Old Kandahar, a 6th century BC site occupied in some measure to the 18th century AD, contains reports and analyses on stratigraphy, pottery, and relative and absolute chronology, with appendices on coins, inscriptions, figurines, and correlation with previous excavations. Substantial textual and illustrated sections are devoted to the catalogue of pottery finds.
