An Archaeological Tour in the Ancient Persis

The present paper is an account, necessarily condensed, owing to the cost of printing, of an archaeological survey which I was able to carry through a great portion of the Iranian Province of Fārs between November 1933 and May 1934. Its object was to continue the researches which had led me during two preceding cold weather seasons from the extreme south-western border of British Makrān through large parts of Persian Balūchistān and Kermān to the mouth of the Persian Gulf and thence along its coast as far as Bushire. In the concluding pages of my detailed record of these journeys, carried out under the auspices of Harvard University and the British Museum, I have explained how political conditions connected with tribal unrest had, in the early spring of 1933, prevented my intended move into Lāristān and neighbouring districts of Fārs, official orders from Tehrān having stopped all further explorations for the time being.
