126. Khush Tepe (Tepe Fullol)

Baghlan Province. Southeast of the village of Fullul on the road to Khost Farang, near the village of Sal Haz'ra, at the junction of the Khost and Sai Valleys

Date: Bronze Age, 2600-1700 BC (stylistic evidence)

A high mound, 14 x 18 meters in area and 20 meters in height. In 1966 there was an accidental discovery of a treasure consisting of several gold and silver vessels dating from the Bronze Age (third millennium BC). They are both plain and decorated with motifs such as the bearded bull, the serpent and the vulture, reminiscent of contacts in Mesopotamia and Baluchistan. Subsequent excavations revealed a prehistoric burial, without any pottery.
