We are also grateful to the numerous specialists who have analyzed archaeological samples from the site.
Last, but by no means least, we would like to thank the Ministry of Information and Culture of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, the National Afghan Institute of Archaeology, the Kabul National Museum, Kabul University, UNESCO and the people of Jam, who have given us such a warm welcome and so much assistance since 2003.
