AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This document outlines the excavations carried out in 1966 at the prehistoric settlement of Bampur in southeastern Iran. Major emphasis in this work is on Bampur pottery, which is important because it throws fresh light on cultural relations between the frontier regions of Persian Baluchistan (in southeastern Iran) and the adjacent countries of Afghanistan and Pakistan during the third millenium B.C. (p. 237). De Cardi discusses the wares from the standpoint of six major periods which she designates as Bampur I-VI. Bampur I-IV represents development within a hitherto unrecognized assemblage, superseded in period V by a hybrid culture from which period VI developed. In this monograph only periods II, III, and IV are considered as relevant to the Iranian Bronze Age and are indexed with OCM categories. Although no carbon-14 dating procedures were undertaken, the author's comparative evidence suggests that the six periods of occupation extended from approximately the second quarter of the third millennium B.C. to around 1900 B.C. The text is well illustrated throughout with numerous figures depicting similarities and differences in the types and decorative designs of the pottery representative of the various periods listed above.
