Abstract :
In winter of 2010, the Iranian Center for Archaeological Research (ICAR) was informed by local officials of several chance discoveries in the mountainous province of Kohgiluye va Boyer Ahmad in the southern Zagros Mountains. The authors were dispatched to evaluate the circumstances and find the best options to deal with them. One of these discoveries is a Parthian (Elymaean) tomb chamber in the small town of Cheram. The tomb chamber belongs to the Parthian period, as shown by the clear similarities between recovered objects and known sites.
