Archaeologists delve into Persepolis sewage system again

TEHRAN -- The second season of archaeological excavation has recently begun in Persepolis to unearth the rest of the sewage system in the Achaemenid city in southern Iran. 
 
Twenty meters of a canal of the sewage system was discovered during the first season of excavation, which was carried out by a team of archaeologists led by Ali Asadi in July 2012.
 
The second season of excavation is also being conducted by Asadi’s team, the Persian service of CHN reported on Thursday. 
 
The studies will mostly be focused on the waterway, which is surmised to flow from the treasury in southeastern Persepolis, Asadi said.
 
The team will also excavate the waterways located in the eastern side of the ‘unfinished gate’ in order to determine where the waterways led and what the canals were used for, he added.
 
He also said that the archaeologists plan to excavate the canal in the southern courtyard of the Tachara in the last part of this season.
 
In this part, the team expects to obtain more information about this waterway that may have been helpful in diverting rainwater from the platform of the Tachara to prevent flooding, he stated.
 
This season of excavation is expected to last for two months.
In August 2005, archaeologists discovered 100 shards in the sewage system beneath Persepolis during sediment removal operations.
 
About two kilometers of the sewer line were discovered during previous excavations. The ducts vary from 60cm in width and 80cm in height to 160cm in width and 80cm in height.
 
Back in December 2004, archaeologists had found part of one leg of the throne of Darius the Great during their excavations at Persepolis. The team also found a piece of lapis lazuli during their excavations of the sewage line that passes under the treasury of Persepolis. Studies on this artifact over the past year have led archaeologists to surmise that the lazuli gemstone was once part of a leg of the throne of Darius.

Producer seeks investors for Iran hostage crisis project

TEHRAN -- Another cineaste was added to a group of several Iranian filmmakers who are dreaming of producing a film on the Iranian occupation of the U.S. embassy in Tehran in 1979, as producer Iraj Taqipur announced on Saturday that he is seeking investors to make a film about the Iran hostage crisis. 
 
Taqipur told the Persian service of ISNA that he plans to hire a cast of foreign actors for the project entitled “Meeting at Sheremetyevo”.
 
He said that if he fails to provide the necessary funds, a cast of Iranian actors and crew will be signed for the project, which is scheduled to be helmed by “Copper and Gold” director Homayun As’adian.
 
According to Taqipur, the screenplay for the film is being written by Farhad Tohidi, who announced in 2012 his plans for writing a screenplay for a TV series about the seizure of the U.S. embassy in Tehran in 1979.
 
He said that he would see Ben Affleck’s Iran hostage drama “Argo” to complete his research for writing the series entitled “The Broken Paw”. However, the serial was never produced.
 
In addition, Iran’s Art Bureau announced in January 2013 its plan for responding to “Argo” by making “The General Staff”, another film project about the 20 American hostages who were delivered to the United States by the Iranian revolutionaries in 1980. This project was also never produced.
In September 2013, Iranian producer Jamal Sadatian also said that he was gathering information for making a film about this subject. However, his plan also has not been implemented yet.
 
Meanwhile, Taqipur said that his “Meeting at Sheremetyevo” should not be presumed to be a response to “Argo”, which was officially viewed as an “anti-Iranian” film.
 
“We want neither to respond to Hollywood nor to compete with it,” he said and added, “We only want to make our own film.”

TEHRAN – The historical house of Allameh Jafar Feizi in the central Iranian city of Kashan has been converted into a museum of Persian dolls and toys. 
 
A collection of 110 dolls and 100 toys has been put on display in the museum, owner and designer of the museum Amir Sohrabi told the Persian service of ISNA on Monday.
 
“The dolls and toys are selected from different regions of the country including Azarbaijan, Gilan, Kordestan and Sistan-Baluchestan,” he explained.
 
On choosing Kashan and the historical house, he said, “I am extremely interested in this city and its historical buildings. Last year, I purchased the house of Allameh Feizi, a cleric and poet from the Qajar era, and renovated the building.
 
“The oldest dolls, selected from the towns of Naiin and Zavareh in Isfahan Province, belong to the Qajar-era and are puppets used in kheimeh shab-bazi, a kind of Persian traditional musical puppet show,” he explained.
 
Sohrabi who began his research on dolls and toys in 2008, said that his studies on dolls and toys still continues, and he might add more to the collection in the museum.
 
The license to establish the museum was issued by Iran’s Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts, and Tourism Organization (CHTHO) last week, he added.

Archaeologists find bizarre burials in Burnt City

TEHRAN -- An archaeological team, which has been assigned to reconstruct the ancient society of the 5200-year-old Burnt City in a new research project, have found several bizarre burials.
 
“From 1200 graves, which have been discovered in the Burnt City since 1975 during various archaeological excavations, there are several burials which are very odd and mysterious,” team director Seyyed Mansur Sajjadi told the Persian service of CHN on Monday.
 
Located 57 kilometers from the Iranian town of Zabol in Sistan-Baluchestan Province, the Burnt City was excavated for the first time by the Istituto Italiano per l’Africa e l’Oriente (IsIAO) team led by Maurizio Tosi in 1967. The team conducted nine seasons of excavations until 1978.
 
“One of the odd burials is in Grave 1003, which had been excavated by our Italian colleagues,” Sajjadi said.
 
The skeleton of 45-year-old man is located in the center of the circle-shaped grave and skulls of two dogs are placed above his head. In addition, 12 human skulls were placed on the north side of the grave, he stated, adding that to date, no other example of such a burial has been discovered in the Burnt City.
 
Due to the structure of the grave, Sajjadi stated, “The grave undoubtedly belongs one of the peoples who had migrated from the Central Asia to the Iranian Plateau. This kind of burial indicates strong relations between the people of the region and Central Asia.”
 
The archaeologists say that the grave may date back to a period before the advent of Zoroastrianism or it may belong to the people who were living in the region before the Iranian people settled in the area.
 
According to Sajjadi, Grave 2810 features another strange burial in the Burnt City.
 
“This grave belongs to a man who died sometime between the ages of 25 and 30. The head of the man was buried in the lower part of his right side and two daggers or cutting tools were also placed on his right side,” he stated.  
 
The archaeologists surmise that the man was beheaded with the cutting tools.
 
“In the grave, there are some pottery bowls and vases, which were used during formal funerals in ancient times. Therefore, we surmise that the man was executed for some offense, but due to the evidence of the formal funeral that was held for the man, he must have been a respected member of the community,” Sajjadi said.
 
Another odd burial was discovered in Grave 609.
 
The grave contains six skulls with a large number of long human bones, Sajjadi said.
 
“All these burials raise a number of questions: Why were the men buried in such styles during the third millennium? Were the men buried in these styles by accident or on purpose? Were the men buried in such ways to save ground in the graveyard? Or are there other reasons behind these burial styles and we are unaware of them,” he asked.
 
Iranian and foreign archaeologists have conducted 31 seasons of excavations in the Burnt City, which was registered on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in June.
 
A 10-centimeter ruler with an accuracy of half a millimeter, an artificial eyeball, an earthenware bowl bearing the world’s oldest example of animation and many other artifacts have been discovered among the ruins of the city in the course of the 22 seasons of archaeological excavations conducted by Iranian teams.
