Document Details : Title: Second Season of Excavation at Cham Routeh in Seimare, Ilam Province, Iran Author(s): SHARIFI, Mahnaz Journal: Iranica Antiqua Volume: 57 Date: 2022 Pages: 147-172 DOI: 10.2143/IA.57.0.3291511 Abstract : The small site of Cham Routeh lies in the Seimare Valley in the Central Zagros, at the midst of a canyon on the Seimare River. It represents one of several points recently identified in regional archaeological surveys. Excavation at Cham Routeh aimed to establish the local occupational sequence and the possible function of the site. The main question the present study addresses is the situation of the settlements in the Seimare Basin in the Sasanian Period. The excavations revealed that the structures were of small floor plans, and that the foremost comparison linking Cham Routeh to other known Sasanian sites in western Iran is the typical contemporary standard pottery. Closer analysis of the pottery assemblages suggests a Sasanian date for the site, where the occupation continued well into the early Islamic centuries. |
