The Archaeology of Afghanistan

This multi‑authored volume, edited by Warwick Ball and published by Edinburgh University Press, assembles expert studies on Afghanistan's archaeology, ranging from prehistoric periods through medieval times.

Aimed at scholars and students, it provides regional syntheses, site reports, and thematic analyses authored by specialists in various subfields.

The book complements Ball's gazetteer by offering interpretive frameworks and recent research findings rather than purely descriptive entries.

Published in 2019, it reflects collaborative international scholarship conducted before the recent curtailment of fieldwork.

The volume is primarily targeted at an academic readership engaged in South and Central Asian archaeology.
