Archaeological Reconnaissances in North-Western India and South-Eastern Īrān : vol.1 |
Citation Information
OCR Text
In support of such an assumption—and for the present it would scarcely be
safe to call it otherwise—attention may be called to the fact that Chāh Ḥusainī
is the lowest of the localities on the Bampūr river from which prehistoric re-
mains were obtainable. If in the Bampūr basin there has taken place a diminu-
tion of the supply of water carried by its river, corresponding to that which my
observations in the valleys of British Makrān indicate as having occurred since
an early prehistoric period,³ this 'desiccation' is likely to have made its effect
felt sooner towards the terminal course of the river than farther up.
My endeavour to trace, if possible, the burial-ground of this important site
remained fruitless, and its very size left little hope of trial excavations producing
much more of definite evidence than that already secured, except with an
expenditure of time greater than we could afford. The approach of Naurōz, the
great Persian festival religiously observed in these parts, would in any case have
deprived us of labour for the next few days. So I felt obliged reluctantly to
renounce further work at Chāh Ḥusainī and to resume our travel westwards.
But as I took leave of the site on the morning of March 20th with a farewell look
round its dune-girt great mound, I felt encouraged to hope that it may yet
attract in the future the thorough exploration that its remains fully deserve.
