Quelques mois plus tard, il concluait une convention archeologique accordant a la France le droit exclusif de fouilles pour 30 ans, et lui-meme, sejournant dans le pays jusqu’en novembre 1925, y effectua diverses prospections et mena les premieres fouilles du site de Bactres, l’ancienne capitale aureolee d’un passe prestigieux ou la legende le disputait a l’histoire: ainsi naquit la DAFA (Delegation archeologique francaise en Afghanistan), toujours presente sur le terrain malgre les difficultes de l’heurea A travers un large choix de correspondances, conservees notamment dans les riches fonds d’archives de la Societe Asiatique, l’ouvrage raconte la genese et le deroulement de cette longue mission, menee dans un Afghanistan encore presque inconnu des Occidentaux.
