It is located {{convert|330|mi|km}} south-east of [[Kerman]] at an elevation of {{convert|1720|ft|m}} In 1911 its population was about 2,000 and it was the capital of the province.

==History==
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]] region of [[PakistanValley]].<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>
 
In August 2017, Bampur District was separated from [[Iranshahr County]] in the establishment of Bampur County. Bampur was transferred to the new Central District as capital of the county.<ref name="Bampur"/>
The majority of the population are ethnic [[Baloch people|Baloch]], who speak the [[Balochi language|Balochi]] language.

==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, "Excavations at Shahr-i Sokhta, a Chalcolithic Settlement in the Iranian Sistan: Preliminary Report on the First Campaign, October–December 1967," East and West, N.S. 18/1-2, 1968, pp. 9-66</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 name="BAMPŪR"/>
 
There are also links with [[Umm an-Nar]] culture of Oman, dating possibly to the last quarter of the 3rd millennium.
 
[[Tepe Yahya]] in [[Kerman Province]], Iran, is another important site that may be related.
