it at intervals and a small quadrangular work guarded the point where a gate known as Darwāza-i-
Bakhtiārī led through the north-eastern face. It was of interest to observe here how closely the
results of the erosive action of the prevailing wind in Sīstān resemble those which are illustrated
so strikingly by the ruins of the Lop and Su-lo-ho basins. The wall facing to the north-west, exposed
to the full force of the ' Sad-ō-bīst rōz ' wind, has for the most part been eroded nearly to the level
of the ground, as shown by Fig. 482, while the lines of wall lying close to the direction of wind still
rise in more or less continuous stretches.
The resemblance of the whole site to those surveyed in those distant Central-Asian deserts
was made still more impressive by the appearance of the area within the circumvallation. As
the sketch-plan, Pl. 56, shows, it is in places overrun by dunes and elsewhere presents a sandy waste
covered with tamarisks and thorny scrub. Within and outside the walls near the south-eastern
corner the ground left unprotected by vegetation has been furrowed into regular Yārdang ridges
from 3 to 7 feet or so in height. At the same time the destruction due to cultivation could be judged
by the almost complete disappearance of the circumvallation near the citadel, where fields laid out
around the modern village of Zāhidān have invaded the enclosed area. A considerable portion
of the interior is covered with Muhammadan graves. Many of them looked quite recent, the
area near the Ziārat known as Chihil-pīr forming a favourite burial-place for the neighbouring
villages. Wherever the ground near the citadel and amidst the scattered ruins of the town area to
the NE. of it has been scoured by wind-driven sand, pottery debris is disclosed in abundance. Much
of it is glazed ware, as shown by the specimens in the List below. The absence of ribbed pieces
here was significant, proving that occupation of the town did not go back to the pre-Muhammadan
period.
About 300 yards beyond the NE. face of the circumvallation there lies a smaller walled
enclosure, about 1½ furlongs square, known as Kala-i-Tīmūr. The walls facing NE. and SW.,
though only about 4 to 5 feet thick, are in fair preservation, while those on the two sides directly
exposed to the force of the wind have been badly breached or completely effaced, as seen in the fore-
ground of Fig. 482. Near the centre of the enclosed area rises the imposing ruin of a mansion
(Fig. 495), double-storied, with vaulted rooms surrounding a central hall about 30 feet by 23.⁴
The sketch-plan in Pl. 58 shows the interior disposition of the building. It undoubtedly was
intended to serve as the residence of the ruler when regard for safety did not oblige him to seek it
within the fortified palace represented by the citadel. The arrangement of the plan suggests that
the main entrance lay from the east, where a broad terrace, once probably fronted by steps, gave
access to a kind of ante-chamber. At the back of the central hall space was spared in the thickness
of one wall for stairs leading to the upper floor. The orientation of the building was, as in all
Sīstān structures, old and new, adapted to the purpose of securing protection against the prevailing
wind, blowing from a little west of north.⁵ The sun-dried bricks measure either 10″×6″×2¼″ or
10″×10″×2½″. It deserves to be noted that throughout the building the vaulting shows voussoirs
with masonry of the regular Western type.
Within the same enclosure rise the ruins of several other structures, as marked in Pl. 56, which
probably served for the accommodation of the chiefs' retinue and similar purposes. The largest
of these, built against the south-western wall of the enclosure, shows a plan resembling that of the
central mansion. At a distance from the latter of about 3 furlongs to the NW., and closely adjoining
a line of wall which is traceable for some distance in that direction, the remains are found of two
structures which local tradition, probably rightly, considers to have been a Masjid and Yakhdān
