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; 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 of the region ever undertaken, cataloguing all recorded sites and monuments from the earliest times to the Timurid period.
