The excavation of the old city was carried out under the supervision of [[John Marshall (archaeologist)|Sir John Marshall]] by Hergrew from 1912–1930. In 1944 and 1945 further parts were excavated by [[Mortimer Wheeler]] and his colleagues. Most of the discoveries at Sirkap related to the [[Indo-Scythian]] and [[Indo-Parthian]] periods (1st-2nd century CE). Overall excavations to the Greek levels have been very limited, and probably much remains hidden underground: in Sirkap, only about one eighth of the excavations were made down to the Indo-Greek and early [[Indo-Scythian]] levels, and this only in an area far removed from the center of the ancient city, where few discoveries could be expected.<ref name="JS39">{{cite book |last1=Siudmak |first1=John |title=The Hindu-Buddhist Sculpture of Ancient Kashmir and its Influences |date=2013 |publisher=BRILL |isbn=978-90-04-24832-8 |pages=39–43 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yVft0FqSxc0C&pg=PA39 |language=en}}</ref>
