| description | This paper underlines the important archaeological evidence
unearthed from four seasons of excavation at Tol-e Bondu, located at Rostam-Du, Noorabad
city, Fars province. The most significant information acquired from this excavation is
the discovery of a temple from the 16th layer, exactly similar to the one from the
middle phase of the Elamite culture. This paper discusses the structures and other
features showing similarity between the two regions. Studying the history of the
Elamites via relief and inscriptions in Mesopotamia leads us to the belief that
performing religious ceremonies played an important role in the civilization and culture
of Elam. |
