چکیده:
Lorestan province, located in western Iran, has historically played a significant role in connecting the southern, western, northwest, and central regions of the country. Over time, numerous important communication routes have traversed this region. While textual sources from the Islamic era mention these routes, their specific paths, the number and quality of structures along the way, and the archaeological evidence of their routes remain largely unexplored. This research aims to identify and introduce the communication path between Shapurkhashat and Nahavand, examining its archaeological evidence. The study adopts a historical approach, utilizing field visits and library research to answer two main questions: 1) What archaeological evidence exists along the route from Shapurkhashat to Nahavand during the Islamic era? 2) How did this road develop during the Islamic era, and what changes occurred? The findings suggest that the road follows an ancient route with minor alterations in the Islamic era, and its houses and stations have seen minimal changes until the present day.

ir Article Information Abstract The special location of Lorestan province in western Iran and its role in connecting southern Iran to the west, northwest, and center of Iran in different periods has caused important and busy communication routes to pass through it.
The present research examines this communication axis by posing two questions: 1- What archaeological evidence remains from the communication route from Shapurkhwast to Nahavand in the Islamic period?
In this research, by examining references in historical texts, especially relying on the remaining archaeological evidence, we will re-identify and introduce this route between Shapurkhwast city (Khorramabad) and Nahavand.
According to the results of archaeological studies, the remains located around the brick minaret and the current Qazi Abad neighborhood have been identified as the site of the ancient city of Shapurkhwast It is attributed to Shapur I of the Sasanian dynasty (Hamzeh Esfahani, 1367: 46).
According to the results of archaeological studies, the remains located around the brick minaret and the current Qazi Abad neighborhood have been identified as the site of the ancient city of Shapurkhwast (Izadpanah, 1376: 119; Islami Nasab, 1397: 122-103) (Image 1).
Conclusion This article, through examining reports from historical texts and archaeological evidence, introduces the communication route from Shapurkhwast to Nahavand and Hamedan during the Islamic period.
Archaeological evidence of this communication route in the region remains in the form of bridges, caravanserais, fortresses, stone-paved roads, and settlement sites.
