The project therefore also aims to examine how man was able to adapt to the climatic and environmental conditions of the Persian Gulf, and in some way to overcome this conditioning by using traditional skills, especially for freshwater management
Some remarks on the architecture and decoration of the site of Bandiyân (Khorasan).
No full textThe author dedicates to the honoured colleague Mr Rajabali Labbaf-Khaniki an updated
English version of one of his contributions that appeared in 2014 in a French volume
devoted to the architecture and art of Iran in the Sasanian period. It builds on the
numerous publications by the discoverer of the Bandiyân site, Mehdi Rahbar, and other
scholars who have addressed the subject, and aims to present some observations that
only partly modify the interpretation proposed by the Iranian archaeologist, confirming
his attribution to non-secular architecture. The author modifies the proposed function further pointing to a ritual function with funerary purposes pertaining to the aristocratic family owner of the estate (dastgerd) comprising tepes A, B, C, the eroical deeds of which are described and celebrated in the stucco decoration of the outer ivân. This makes of the Bandiyân figural stuccoes the only art product of Sasanian Iran truly narrative in the meaning of R. Brilliant: this features connects the site more to Central Asia than to Iranian plateau

Connectivity in Southern Fars in the Early Sasanian Period. Ardashir Xwarrah and the Persian Gulf Inland and Coastal Areas
No full textThe links between the area of Fars centred on Firuzabad and the Persian Gulf coastal region are investigated through a careful analysis of archaeological evidence. In particular the author advances the hypothesis that the monumental remains discovered by A. Askari Chaverdi at Tomb-e Bot (Mohr district) and dated by him to the end of the Arsacid period, may be in fact attributed to the reign of Ardashir I, because of the similar use of architectural elements of evident Achaemenid inspiration which are present in Ardashir's building at Qal'a-ye Dokhtar and Palace of Ardashir in Firuzabad area. Furthermore, given that the port of Siraf starts only after the 5th century AD and given that the only natural passage from Mohr valley towards the Persian Gulf presenting less difficulty lies further south and links the Mohr valley with the region of Gavbandi, ending to the West on the gulf of Nâyband, the author suggest to look for the port of the 3rd and 4th century AD in this gulf
