31 May 2007 |
LONDON, (CAIS) -- During the excavation in Ramhormorz, a mudbrick footpath with the size of 40×40x7 was unearthed.
"Studies over this footpath has not been completed yet, therefore it's age is not clear, but discovery of potteries in the vicinity of the hills supports the claim that the footpath was constructed during the Parthian dynastic era,'' said Arman Shishegar, director of archaeological research team in Ramhormorz.
The recent excavation by Ramhormoz Water and Sewage Department in Khuzestan province led to accidental discovery of two historical coffins containing some 488 pieces of artifacts belonging to Elamite period (3400-550 BCE), Achaemenid (550-330 BCE) and Parthian (248 BCE- 224 CE) dynasties.
