The Archaeological Gazetteer of Afghanistan

Warwick Ball's Archaeological Gazetteer of Afghanistan is an exhaustive reference that catalogs archaeological sites, monuments, and findings throughout Afghanistan, serving as a foundational resource for scholars and fieldworkers.

First published in 1982, it provided one of the main compendia of site descriptions and bibliographic references for Afghan archaeology.

An expanded and updated edition released in 2019 incorporated subsequent research and revisions, maintaining the work's value for specialists.

The gazetteer is logistical and descriptive in nature, intended as a consultative tool rather than general readership narrative.

It reflects Ball's decades of involvement in Afghan archaeology and field experience across multiple regions.
