SHAHR-E
REYY, Remains of pottery kilns belonging to the Islamic era have been
unearthed during digging operations by the water and sewage organization in
Shahr-e Reyy, south of the capital city Tehran. Thousands of pieces of brick and
clay works dating back to the past millennium, have been discovered from an
underground depth of 4 meters. In addition, remains of turquoise glasswares have
also been discovered during the operations but the exact date of the objects is
not known yet.
In the course of the digging operations in the area about 7 years ago, a pottery
kiln was unearthed with a clay pot filled with gold coins. Experts of the
Cultural Heritage Organization are expected to launch comprehensive studies in
the area as of next week. The experts have so far made no official statement
concerning the recent findings.
