A report by Kyoto University Institute of Human Archaeological Materials discusses the Buddha statues in the Bamiyan province of Afghanistan. During the Taliban's control of the country, there was an attempt to blow up and destroy these statues, which resulted in significant damage to them.

The report is in Japanese, but the title is translated into English by the cataloger.
