The Zāyandeh Rūd River played an important role in shaping the society of ancient Isfahan, although the river basin had not been well investigated archaeologically. In 2021 an archaeological survey was conducted by the Isfahan Hydraulic Heritage Project along the Zāyandeh Rūd River. Roughly thirty kilometers southeast of the city of Isfahan, prehistoric pottery sherds attributed to the Bakun period came to light on the surface of a tell-site called Tappeh Ziar. The analysis and comparison of the sherds show some interactions with the Fars prehistoric cultures, especially the Kur River Basin during the fifth millennium BCE
