This outline allows the author to make a long excursus on the excavations from the Plateau to the Central Asia (Margiana, Bactriana, Sogdiana etc.) where some regions will become the eastern satrapies of the Achaemenian time. In the meantime the article is also presenting an interesting classification of those structure divided for periods and geographic areas.
