"The iconic minaret of Jām stands in a remote mountain valley in central Afghanistan,
the finest surviving monument of the enigmatic 12th-century Ghūrid dynasty. The rediscovery
of the minaret half a century ago prompted renewed interest in the Ghūrids, and this
has intensified since their summer capital at Jām became Afghanistan?s first World
Heritage site in 2002. Two seasons of archaeological fieldwork at Jām, the detailed
analysis of satellite images, and the innovative use of Google Earth as a cultural
heritage management tool have resulted in a wealth of new information about known
Ghūrid sites, and the identification of hundreds of previously undocumented archaeological
sites across Afghanistan. Drawing inspiration from the Annales school and the concept
of an 'archipelagic landscape', David Thomas uses these data to re-assess the Ghūrids,
giving us a more nuanced understanding of this significant Early Islamic polity."
