The findings were revealed through a survey across the centuries-old Sardar Castle located in Bukan, northwestern province of West Azarbaijan.
“So far, the excavated objects in this stratigraphy analysis includes Iron-Age pottery fragments, animal bones, a stone tool, a piece of bronze rod, and small and large-sized jars,” said archaeologist Yousef Hassanzadeh who leads the team.
The term Iron Age is used to denote a cultural change that occurred in Iran centuries earlier than the time when the metal was used elsewhere in the Near East, and not signify the introduction of a new metal technology. Iron artifacts were, in fact, unknown in Iran until the 9th century BC.
Bukan and its surroundings embrace a variety of historical sites and monuments, most of which are inscribed on the National Cultural Heritage list.
