Whitcomb Donald.
New York: Metropolitan Museum of Art. 1985. — 274 p. — ISBN-0-87099-389-5The excavation ar Qasr-i Abu Nasr were begun in 1932 during the Great Depression in the United States. The trustees of Metropolitan Museum of Art had cur down on the fieldwork they subsidized in Egypt, but took opportunity to authorize excavations — on a very small scale — in Iran. Shah Riza Pahlevi had abrogated the treaty that had given France sole permission to excavate in that country; thus it was possible to further the Museum interest in Sasanian art and Archaeology, which had begun with German at Ctesiphon in Iraq in 1931-1932.
