Structure and Architecture of Graves in South East Iran: Ethnic Diversity and Migration in the 3rd Millennium BCE
Seiten 175 - 192
DOI https://doi.org/10.13173/CAJ/2019/2/4
The present paper intends to analyse ancient local society, as a result of
migration and cultural communication between various ethnic groups throughout
the eastern part of the Iranian Plateau. Based on the results of excavations in
the cemetery of Shahr-i Sokhta, offerings, tools and skeletons were examined.
The alignment and positioning of the buried bodies changed over the centuries as
a consequence of people with different ethnic backgrounds migrating to the site
along the commercial routes connecting Central Asia in the north with
Baluchistan and the coastal regions of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman, as
well as between Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley. The study suggests at least
five different geographical origins of Shahr-i Sokhta's inhabitants in the third
millennium.
