The Emergence of Pottery in Southern Iran
The emergence and spread of pottery production in Southwest Asia is a key topic in Neolithic archaeology, as it can provide valuable information about the technological developments and cultural changes of early societies. Archaeological excavations at the Tol-e Sangi in the Fars Cultural Zone have provided important evidence for investigating this process. Radiocarbon dates indicate that the earliest pottery in the Fars cultural zone appeared c.…
Mortuary Practices in Neolithic Central Asia
The Neolithic period was accompanied by fundamental changes in the lifestyles, subsistence strategies, social structures, and belief systems of human societies. One of the most important reflections of these developments can be observed in burial rituals and behaviors related to death. Archaeological excavations at the Zardali Neolithic site in Uzbekistan have led to the identification of Neolithic cultural layers and a human burial, which has be…
Safavid Epigraphy in Bavanat County, Iran
One of the most important achievements of humankind is the invention of writing systems that have enabled the recording of information and the transmission of knowledge. Inscriptions and other written materials are important sources for historical and archaeological studies. They provide information about beliefs, ideas, and historical events and are used in the dating of monuments and the study of calligraphic traditions. During the archaeologic…
Resilience and Cultural‐Economic Adaptation Strategies of Neolithic Communities in Fars During the 8.2 ka BP Climatic Event, Southwest Asia
Iran is among the regions most vulnerable to environmental and climatic change. Similar environmental transformations also occurred in the past, leaving deep impacts on the habitability and cultural trajectories of human societies. One of the most significant of these transformations was the 8.2 ka BP climatic event, which has been associated with notable shifts in the subsistence systems of seventh‐millennium BC communities across the Northern H…
Evolution, Resilience, and Collapse of Prehistoric Settlements in the Bavanat River Basin, Southern Iran
Small intermontane valleys, like the Bavanat River Basin in southern Iran, are valuable for archaeological research due to their preservation of environmental and social changes. An archaeological survey in 2015 and excavations at the Hormangan site in 2016 revealed 200 sites dating from the Neolithic to the Islamic period. This article examines prehistoric settlements, cultural interactions at both regional and interregional levels, and the key …
Beyond the Capitals
Following Genghis Khan’s conquest of the Khwarazmian Empire, vast areas of Asia came under Mongol rule. After his death, Hulagu Khan established the Ilkhanid dynasty in Iran. However, following the reign of Abu Sa’id, Iran descended into political fragmentation until Timur founded the Timurid Empire. These periods are classified in Iranian archaeology as part of the Medieval Islamic period. While research has traditionally focused on urban center…
Metallurgy and Ancient Mining in Tujerdi District of Fars Province, Iran
The production of metal artifacts, as one of the earliest forms of industry and craftsmanship, has long attracted scholarly attention. Iran has historically been one of the primary centers for metal production across various periods. The geology of Fars Province reveals rich mineral resources that have supported mining activities since ancient times. This study is based on archaeological surveys conducted in the Tujerdi district of Sarchahan Coun…

Absolute Chronology of the Dalma Period in Northwestern Iran
In recent decades, numerous excavations have been conducted at prehistoric sites in northwestern Iran, and the results of these studies have contributed to the development of a chronological framework for the region. The early Chalcolithic period in this area is referred to as the Dalma or Hasanlu X period. Various theories have been proposed regarding the chronological span of this culture, yet challenges and debates about its dating remain. The…
Human remains from Qieh-Boynou Kurgan, Iran, 2020
The Qieh-Boynou Kurgan is located north of the Ahmadbeiglou village (3825'49"N, 4733'16"E), in the Central District of Meshginshahr County, Ardabil Province, Iran (Figure 1), approximately 10km west of Meshginshahr city in a direct line.This site is situated on the western terrace of the Meshgin Chay River and lies within the area of the Ahmadbeiglou Dam (Figure 2 and 3).Initially, a survey of the dam area was conducted by Heidarian in 2008, whic…
Burial Practices of the Bronze Age
Food Production and Manufacturing Tools of the Hormangan Neolithic Society, Iran
Ochre and other pigments from the 7th millennium BC
From Seasonal Hunting Base to Permanent Settlement
The lifestyle and subsistence patterns of Neolithic people during the second half of the seventh millennium BCE has become a topic of scientific discussion worldwide. This topic has rarely been discussed in the archaeology of Iran. Based on findings from the Hormangan archaeological site, this article discusses this period in southern Iran within the broader context of southwest Asia. The paper introduces the findings of the excavation of the Hor…
New evidence for sealing in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic from Tol-e Sangi, Iran
During the excavation of Tol-e Sangi in southern Iran, tokens and a sealing were discovered in Pre-Pottery Neolithic (PPN, c. 7050-6900 BC) layers. As the oldest sealing found in Iran, this artefact suggests that storage and sealing practices were used during the PPN period in South-west Asia
Emergence of Neolithic in the Southern Plains of Iran
The study of the Neolithic period in Southwest Asia, particularly the Zagros region, has been a central focus for archaeologists. However, while central Zagros has been extensively researched, the southern plains and valleys remained largely unexplored until approximately a decade ago. The diverse environmental characteristics of Fars province necessitated more detailed studies of each region. The current study focuses on the southern Zagros regi…
Sangbor Petroglyphs in Bavanat County, Southern Iran
During archaeological research, especially in the study of the historical and Islamic periods, the focus is on kings’ palaces, religious buildings and famous artists. Ordinary people are generally ignored. This means that all people of every social class should be studied to understand past societies. Petroglyphs are one of the most significant archaeological types of evidence to study ordinary people’s art and concerns. During an archaeological …
Organization of pottery production at the hormangan neolithic site
Dating the beginning of the Pottery Neolithic in South Iran
The Fertile Crescent of Southwest Asia is considered one of the main centers of the first Neolithization worldwide. However, the dating and processes of its spread to neighboring regions have yet to be studied. This study reports new chronological data from the Fars highlands, southeast of the Fertile Crescent. Although the Pottery Neolithic in Fars has long been believed to have started in the late 7th millennium BC, recent excavations at Tepe R…

Fars as a Multi-Cultural Zone During the Neolithic Period
Considering the long history of innovations during the Neolithic period in Fars, there remain several fundamental questions that have not been answered. Of these unanswered questions, the most important one concerns that of the chronology of the early Neolithic pottery that would provide insights into the early phases of settlement and production of food in the region. The cultural region of Fars presents various environments that shaped the form…
Cairn Burial of the historical period around Khansaar dam, Toujerdi district of Fars province, Iran
In the historical period, the Fars region in Iran was one of the most important cultural areas in the world, and it is considered the origin of the ancient Achaemenid and Sasanian empires. Although some areas of Sarchahan county have been studied well, no archaeological survey has been conducted there until the construction of Khansaar Dam and rescue operations in its area. As part of an archaeological survey in the Toujerdi district of Sarchahan…
Challenges of the Fars Neolithic Chronology
Over the past few decades, several excavations that have been performed in the Fars Neolithic sites have resulted in the presentation of different chronologies for the region. Most of the research in Fars centered on the Kur River Basin (KRB). Fars has always had a different environment for the formation of different cultures over time, therefore, in order to reach a better understanding of the prehistoric cultures of the region it is necessary t…
