In contemporary political rhetoric, “returning to the Stone Age” is often invoked as a metaphor for collapse and backwardness—a phrase occasionally directed at Iran. Yet, from an archaeological perspective, this term carries a fundamentally different meaning.
TEHRAN – A new research project has examined four ancient metal smelting sites in Yazd province, central Iran, shedding light on early metallurgical practices and identifying the types of metals extracted and processed at the locations, researchers said.
TEHRAN – Archaeologists have uncovered compelling evidence that some of the earliest human ancestors, originally migrating from Africa, not only passed through but also settled and flourished along the southern coast of present-day Iran, specifically within the natural corridor known as the Makran Coast. The findings have been published in the Journal of Sistan and Baluchistan Studies.
