The excavations at Sabz Pushan revealed part of a residential neighborhood dating to the tenth century. This and several similar fragments were found deposited in the bottom of a well dug into the floor of what was likely a domestic unit after having been chipped off a wall and discarded, so their original location is not known. Several are now housed in the Metropolitan Museum, and include 38.40.268, 38.40.269, 38.40.270, 38.40.271. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Vase fragment Minoan.

Author: Ancient Egyptian.Waster 15th-16th century This fragment of a bowl was labeled by the Met archaeologists in 1938 as "brought in from town". The glazed surface shows different traces of misfiring, including a collapse of the cavetto resulting in a "pierced" vessel. The shape and decoration of the bowl, with underglaze painted floral motifs, point to a date in the early modern period. While this may be slight evidence of the continuity in the urban life of Nishapur well after the arrival of the Mongols in the 13th century, recent surveys by Iranian archaeologists have documented many traces of the multi-period occupation of the area..
