The rediscovery of the minaret half a century ago prompted renewed interest in the Ghu?rids, and this has intensified since their summer capital at Ja?m became Afghanistan?s first World Heritage site in 2002. Two seasons of archaeological fieldwork at Ja?m, the detailed analysis of satellite images, and the innovative use of Google Earth as a cultural heritage management tool have resulted in a wealth of new information about known Ghu?rid sites, and the identification of hundreds of previously undocumented archaeological sites across Afghanistan. Drawing inspiration from the Annales school and the concept of an 'archipelagic landscape', David Thomas uses these data to re-assess the Ghu?rids, giving us a more nuanced understanding of this significant Early Islamic polity." -- Back cover. 606 $aGhurids 607 $aHari Rud$xAntiquities 610 $aAustralian 615 0$aGhurids. 676 $a958.1 700 $aThomas$b David C.$0970436 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821249603321 996 $aThe ebb and flow of the Ghu?rid empire$94125750 997 $aUNINA
