The hair was added as stabilisation of the clay. While the fine top clay layers only contain a low amount of fine hair, the undercoat contains more and thicker hair, often even in tufts or twisted strands (fig. 1). Samples of the hair were taken to Munich for analysis (fig. 2). Several hair samples from the clay layers of the two Buddha statues (GBL 011; GBL 30/09/05,1; GBL 086; GBL 024; 25/09/06,2; KBL 004; KBL 084, KBL 208) were examined at the department for microtraces and biology at the Bayerisches Landeskriminalamt (Bavarian State Criminal Police Office) for identification. Mammalian hairs are composed of three layers (from inside to outside): the medulla (core), the cortex, and the cuticle (scale layer). Species-specific characteristics of the entire hair and its layers, like (relative) size, shape, and structure, can be used to identify the former bearer of the hair. For the present report, varying numbers of hairs from each sample were examined using low-power microscopy and then mounted on slides for high-power light microscopy. The sample hairs were compared to reference material collected from different common mammal species (goat, sheep, cow, and donkey57) in the valley of Bāmiyān by E. Melzl. Important diagnostic characteristics were e.g. structure and relative size of the medulla, cross-sectional shape and width of the hair, colour and pigmentation, and the hair profile. The samples contained a variety of hair material, from small fragments of hairs (< 5 mm) to guard hairs approx. 150 mm long. Roots and tips are missing in most cases, a common feature of shorn hair or wool. The cross-sectional widths (at the widest part) often reach 100 μm (corresponding to a coarse human hair), the maximum width measured was 150 μm. Some samples contained balls of fine underhair (width approx. 10 to 30 μm). This underhair and other individual hairs lacking important diagnostic features could not be used for the discrimination of species, especially sheep and goat. The hair colour varied between a yellowish white and brown to almost black. The cross-sections of the hairs and fragments were circular to oval, oblong, concavo-convex and dumb-bell shaped. The majority of the examined hairs from the samples of both Buddha statues were identified as goat hair. They are consistent with the goat reference material in the most Fig. 3.
