Abstract
The site of Ghazni (Afghanistan) was extensively investigated between 1957 and 1978 by the Italian Archaeological Mission in Afghanistan. Two secular buildings of the Islamic period were brought to light: the Ghaznavid palace and the so-called “house of lustrewares”, a dignitary’s private residence. A huge quantity of ceramics was collected from these buildings. The recent study of this pottery corpus has led to a better understanding of the ceramic productions of the Afghan region and, in particular, it has helped to shed new light on the history of Islamic Ghazni and its buildings.File in questo prodotto:
