The
new pair of earrings, which are two large silver
loops, is discovered exactly next to the ears of
the woman’s skeleton
Archaeologists
working on the historical site of the Burnt City
in Sistan-Baluchistan have unearthed for the first
time ever the body of a woman with silver earrings
remained at sides of her head.
The Burnt City is located some kilometers out of
Zabol city of Sistan-Baluchistan province and is
considered one of the major world sites where
urban life started to form. Some archaeologists
believe that its importance is no less than that
of sites remaining from Egypt civilizations.
The ancient residents of the Burnt City loved
jewelry and precious stones, and were skilled in
related arts of creating necklaces and bracelets.
They even exported their products to other
regions; however, so far no earrings had been
found in the historical site and therefore. The
archaeologists had therefore concluded that
residents of the city did not pierce their ears.
The new pair of earrings, which are two large
silver loops, is discovered exactly next to the
ears of the woman’s skeleton, and revises
previous interpretations of the people’s jewelry
choice.
A large mirror and a silver simple ring are also
discovered in the woman’s tomb, explained head
of the excavation team of the Burnt City, Mansour
Sajjadi.
The skeleton is under more studies for her age,
origin, and other characteristics to be
identified.
