==Archaeology==
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. (2011) [https://www.academia.edu/4602453 Shahr-i Sokhta and the Chronology of the Indo-Iranian Borderlands.] Paléorient 37 (2) : 7-34 academia.edu</ref>
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>
There were links with major sites such as [[Shahr-e Sukhteh|Shahr-i Sokhta]] in Iran, and [[Mundigak]].<ref>M. Tosi,
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>

[[Tepe Yahya]] in [[Kerman Province]], Iran, is another important site that may be related.
