A
group of archeology students have unearthed three human
skeletons in southern Iran thought to be some 4,000 years
old.
The spectacular finds made by a number of students from
the Azad university in Kazerun surfaced in the Tal Bandu
historical hill in Mamasani in southern province of Fars.
One undamaged skeleton belongs to a man some 18-25 years
old and 180 centimeter tall, flanked by a scrambled one.
The third is that of a woman.
Other discoveries include a double edged piece of stone,
which was probably used for writing, some stone blades
used for harvesting and a number of pottery utensils. They
are believed to be dating back some 2000 years.
The Tal Bandu hill covers an area of 9 kms.
