Signs of 'Elamites' in Kangavar Journal Article

Machine summary:

At the beginning of the fourth season of archaeological excavations at the Anahita Temple of Kangavar, considering the mounds that appeared natural yet were covered with pottery fragments and shards (more or less similar to those found in the Kangavar excavations) on one hand, and on the other hand, the possibility of the existence of rock graves, similar to the grave found on the eastern side of the Anahita Temple, the writer proceeded to dig several test pits and trenches for initial identification at various points of the hills and mounds, which lasted nearly ten days. This stone foundation consisted of only a single row of rubble stones and flagstones with a height of 20 centimeters, which was situated on the rocky layers of the hill's slope and, in all probability, was the foundation of a mud-brick and brick wall of a castle that stood at several points in its corners or at intervals between them, much of which has now been destroyed over time. In this grave, except for a row of raw bricks, another skeleton was located inside a handmade stone rock cavity, whose original state and condition remained completely untouched. In the interval between these bricks, another area measuring 45*135 centimeters was obtained (Photo No. 2), which is probably a small chamber for depositing objects or another body, but during excavation, no trace of an object or a skeleton was found. The cavity embedded for placing the skeleton was an area measuring 63*240 centimeters, excavated among the sedimentary layers of the mound.
