The work led by the Soviet-Afghan Mission directed by I. T. Kruglikova from 1969 to 1979 in northern Afghanistan, and especially the excavations made by V. I. Sarianidi, remains until today the base of any research on Iron Age in Central Asia. Some previously unpublished photographs taken by V. I. Sarianidi illustrate the excavations undertaken at two major sites, Tillya-Tepe and Naibabad, showing both architectural remains during the process of excavations and pottery. The researches acccomplished and published in the past few years allows a better understanding of this huge work that remains unique.
