A Study on the Historical Geography and Toponyms of Pre-modern Afghanistan

该研究项目旨在通过收集来自文学资料、考古发现和现代实地研究人员报告的各种数据，更好地了解阿富汗前现代时期的历史地理。因此，在早期伊斯兰时期，对哈扎拉贾特北部地区，即阿富汗中部山区的东北部地区进行了细致的工作。新的研究项目有机会绘制前和早期伊斯兰时期的政治地图，将迄今收集的数据与硬币进行比较，并与国外的钱币学家合作。

The research project has aimed at acquiring the better understanding on the historical geography of Afghanistan in the pre-modern time, by getting together various data from literary sources, archaeological findings, and the reports by modern field researchers. As a result, this has been done meticulously with the area in the northern Hazarajat, i. e., the northeastern part of Central Afghan Massif, in the early Islamic period. And the opportunity for the new research project to draw the political map in the pre-and early Islamic period, comparing the data collected so far with the coins, collaborating with the numismatists abroad, has been opened.
