Document Details : Title: Zar Bolagh Subtitle: A Late Iron Age Site in Central Iran Author(s): MALEKZADEH, Mehrdad , SAEEDYAN, Sa'di , NASERI, Reza Journal: Iranica Antiqua Volume: 49 Date: 2014 Pages: 159-191 DOI: 10.2143/IA.49.0.3009241 Abstract : Zar Bolagh is located in the north of Qom province, central Iran. The site is known for its stone structure, which after its abandonment was deliberately filled with stone and gravel, similarly to Nush-i Jan, before finally being entirely covered by two thick stone and mud brick walls founded by mortar. In the winter of 2006, and under Malekzadeh’s supervision, Zar Bolagh was investigated. During the course of excavation the team found valuable architectural elements comparable with other religious monuments in central Iran. This paper presents some preliminary results from the first season of excavation in Zar Bolagh, consisting of cemetery data and architectural remains. According to the pottery assemblage sequence this site can be dated to as early as the Late Iron Age. |
