The book discusses and catalogues Charles Masson's 1833-8 collections from the urban site of Begram and Kabul bazaar. It utilizes Masson archival material which appears as a supplementary BM online publication The Charles Masson Archive: British Library, British Museum and Other Documents Relating to the 1832-1838 Masson Collection from Afghanistan:

The catalogued objects will be selected from c. 7600 coins and c. 1500 artifacts from Begram and Kabul bazaar now in the British Museum, supplemented by illustrated coins recorded in Masson's archival manuscripts (F526/1a) and in H.H. Wilson (Ariana Antiqua London 1841), but no longer in the collection. A key resource will be the records and images of all the artifacts already available on the Museum's Collection online database:
