content: This sub-series consists of field notes, correspondence, travel and budget research, reprints, clippings, maps, articles, and language studies relating to research in Iran and Afghanistan.  There is some material documenting Rosman's interest in pursuing field work in Afghanistan in the early 1960s.  The bulk of the material, however, is related to a research trip Rubel and Rosman took to Iran and Afghanistan in the Summer 1971. They explored the possiblities for fifteen months of field research the following year studying the nature of relationships between pastoral nomads and sedentary agriculturalists.  The proposed research was not funded, and they spent the sabbatical year of 1972-1973 conducting library research at the University of Oxford.
