Document Details : Title: Prehistoric Nishapur and the frontier between Central Asia and Iran Author(s): HIEBERT, Fredrik T. , DYSON, Robert H. Jr. Journal: Iranica Antiqua Volume: 37 Date: 2002 Pages: 113-149 DOI: 10.2143/IA.37.0.120 Abstract : During the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s excavations at the medieval site of Nishapur, Hauser reported that his team investigated a prehistoric site in the vicinity of Nishapur (Hauser et al. 1938). One of the minor objectives of the 1937 expedition was ‘to test a prehistoric site discovered northwest of the modern city by [Charles K.] Wilkinson on one of the sherd-hunting walks we take from time to time in the hope of finding sites belonging to periods other than those in which we have worked’ (Hauser et al. 1938: 3-4). This site, located 12 km to the northwest of the medieval city, was named ‘Nishapur-P’ by Wilkinson in the photography logs. |
