Over 200 ancient sites found in western Iran

Iranian archeologists have found more than 200 ancient sites in the country's western Chaharmahal-Bakhtiari Province.

"Excavations in Ardal town yielded some 212 sites dating back from the Middle Paleolithic to the Qajar eras," said head of the archeology team Alireza Khosrozadeh.

The team also found shards of pottery, stone pieces, cemeteries and ancient sites located on natural mounds.

According to Khosrozadeh, the majority of the discovered sites inhabited nomadic tribes of ancient Persia as well as Elamite and Islamic periods.

Despite nomadic habitations which are poor in historical and cultural remains, the few residential areas found in the region yielded stone and brick architectural remains.

Qajar gravestones and Parthian cemeteries were also found by the archeology team, CHTN reported.
