Α)Researchers discover 7,000-year old cemetery in Khuzestan, Iran
According
to a recent press release (to IRNA) from Khuzestan Cultural Heritage
Lovers Society, researchers have come across what seems to be a
7,000-year-old cemetery in Behbahan County, in Iran’s Khuzestan
Province. The exact location of the site lies at Tel Chegah-e Sofla,
with the primary discovery being made by Abbas Moghaddam, a senior
archaeologist. Interestingly, the experts after some preliminary
analysis, have identified two patterns of graves, with some pertaining
to collective burials and a few also relating to individual burials.
Furthermore, they are hoping that a more detailed assessment can shed
some light into the funerary practices and even lifestyle of people who
inhabited this region in the prehistoric times.
