The old citadel of Bampur, on a hill about {{convert|100|ft|m}} high {{convert|3|mi|km}} north of the river, fell into ruins. A new fort called Kalah Nasseri, was built at Pahrah, which is known as [[Iranshahr (city)|Iranshahr]], {{convert|15|mi|km}} further east, in the 1880s.<ref name="EB1911"/>

Fahraj, which in 1911 had a population of about 2,500, has become more important than Bampur. Fahraj, which is also known as [[Pahura]] (or Paharu or Puhra), is by some identified as the Poura where [[Alexander the Great]] halted on his march from the [[Indus Valley]].<ref>Others are more in favour of another Fahraj near Bam, or even of Bampūr itself as the halting place of Alexander the Great {{harv|Chisholm|1911}}.</ref>

Bampur is an important site in relation to the ancient [[Helmand Province#Helmand culture|Helmand culture]] of western Afghanistan, and to the closely related [[Jiroft culture]] of eastern Iran.<ref>Jarrige, J.-F., [[Aurore Didier|Didier, A.]] & Quivron, G.

The position of Bampur is near a river and major routes. Thus, prehistoric and later settlements were founded in the area. Sir [[Aurel Stein]] carried out reconnaissance here in 1932. In 1966, [[Beatrice de Cardi]] excavated next, and she established that there were six successive occupational phases (Periods I-VI) at the site.<ref name="BAMPŪR">B. de Cardi, [http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/bampur BAMPŪR] iranicaonline.org</ref>

During the Period I of Shahr-e Sukhteh (3200–2800 BCE), there were already close connections between that city and the Bampur valley. These contacts also continued in the Period II of Shahr-e Sukhteh.<ref>Pierfrancesco Callieri, Bruno Genito (2012), [http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/italy-vi-italian-excavations-in-iran-2 ITALIAN EXCAVATIONS IN IRAN] www.iranicaonline.org</ref>
New ceramics appeared at the end of Period IV, suggesting contact with Iran, [[Makran]], and [[Oman]]. Ceramics similar to Shahr-i Sokhta IV (ca. 2200-1800 b.c.) style were introduced in Periods V-VI.<ref>B. de Cardi, [http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/bampur BAMPŪR] iranicaonline.org</ref>
