As the last season of explorations drew
to a close in a historical area near the town of
Oshnaviyeh in the province of West Azarbaijan, a number
of valuable artifacts from the pre-historic to the
Islamic period were discovered.
Reyhaneh Afifi, a member of the Oshnaviyeh archeological
group, said the recent explorations focused on the plain
and mountains, with the studies in the plain carrying
more weight.
"The most significant find was an intact utensil
from the Iron age. In addition, a number of stone tools
and scraps were unearthed, which indicated the area used
to be a hub for making stone tools in the Neolithic
age," she noted.
