Seller's Description:
New in New jacket. With the growing evidence of cultural developments in south and southeastern (Baluchistan) areas of Afghanistan, the archaeologists are now led to infer that there existed some kind of interaction between these and other regions, even such disparate regions as Soviet Central Asia and the Indus Valley during pre-and protohistoric periods. Investigations in Baluchistan and southeastern Afghanistan, therefore, provide vital information with regard to such interactions. Dr Shaffer's present study on prehistoric Baluchistan, incorporating comprehensively his findings on Said Qala Tepe excavations, forms an important landmark in the history of Indo-Iranian Borderland archaeology. Said Qala, located in a geographical area, commonly referred to as Baluchistan, is one of the very few pre-and protohistoric excavated sites in Afghanistan. Presenting new material evidence from this Borderland, Dr Shaffer sets out a detailed discussion of the stratigraphical, architectural, ceramic and chronological findings yielded by Sald Qala excavations. His study, particularly of the ceramics is at once brilliant-nay, peerless. Developing a theoretical approach, evolved directly out of his anthropological training, Jim Shaffer supports his interpretations and conclusions on a 'Systematic Model' involving the study of 'Adaptive areas, Traditions-artifactual and material culture-and 'Interaction Spheres', where trade and religion play a significant role. Dr Shaffer's thoughtful review of Borderland prehistoric archaeology, his magnificent handling of the primary evidence he himself obtained, and scholarly vision of what approaches we need lend a rare distinction to his study.
