-
Tillya Tepe Six rich graves cut into an older mound near Sheberghan, dated to the later first century CE by coins, with gold that mixes steppe, Greek and local forms. -
Bamiyan Empty niches in a cliff where two giant Buddhas stood, with radiocarbon on the statues and drying oil in some of the cave paintings.
Considered, and not given a room
A room is for a place with a real open question and enough published evidence to weigh both sides. These were looked at and left as notes, so they are not invisible.
- The Oxus Treasure is a group of gold and silver objects of the Achaemenid centuries, mostly the 5th and 4th centuries BCE, now largely in the British Museum. They reached the museum in the late 19th century. The findspot is the open part: the riverbank at Takht-i Kuwad is the usual place named, and other spots along the Oxus have been argued. Provenance is a real argument, and it is a thinner one than the dates on the Bamiyan statues and the paint in the caves, which is the room. British Museum, the Oxus Treasure.
