Taken together, this information serves as a basis for the recovery and rehabilitation of the cliff and niches and is presented in detail. 410 0$aNatural Science in Archaeology,$x1613-9712 606 $aArchaeology 606 $aArchaeology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X13000 615 0$aArchaeology. 615 14$aArchaeology. 676 $a958.1 702 $aMargottini$b Claudio$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484492403321 996 $aAfter the Destruction of Giant Buddha Statues in Bamiyan (Afghanistan) in 2001$92845896 997 $aUNINA
