Funded Activity Summary

Key of Anshan, Bolt of Elam: Cultural evolution and state formation in the Fahliyan Plain (Fars, Iran), 4000 BC - 500 AD. This project will excavate cultural material from the site of Tul-e Spid in the area of Fahliyan in southwest Iran and has been proposed as the location of Huhnuri, the Key of Anshan and the Bolt of Elam. Little is known about Fahliyan, yet it lies on the route between the two ancient capitals of the region. Excavation and analysis of material from Tul-e Spid will provide insight into the evolution of states and empires that developed in southwestern Iran, and the first indication of the changes that occurred in regional areas during their formation.
