Resumo

The paper analyses some archaeological issues related to pottery production in Sistan —between south-eastern Iran and south-western Afghanistan— in the Late Iron Age/Achaemenid period. Hallmarks of cultural development at the local level and interactions with neighbouring areas are overviewed in the light of published pottery assemblages from the region.
