Archaeological Survey and First Preliminary Results of the Site of Shahr-i Gholghola (Afghanistan). The Bamiyan Valley as a Centre of Trade and Cultural Exchange,

Résumé

Enclosed within the Hindu Kush Mountains, the Bamiyan Valleys are visually marked by a natural promontory rising at approximately 2,800 m and occupied by the Medieval fortress city of Shahr-i Gholghola, which lies a few hundred metres south of the modern city. This site, together with the two famous Buddha statues (destroyed by the Taliban in 2001) and many other sites, is today part of the “Cultural Landscape and Archaeological Remains of the Bamiyan Valley” in Afghanistan, listed by UNESCO as “World Heritage in Danger”. The results of the survey presented here are part of a larger study of the architectural remains of the Shahr-i Gholghola site, carried out to better understand the status and use of this site.
