    Abstract

    Defensive fortifications in different regions of Iran have been an effective factor in the survival of residential centers and commercial routes. An investigation on defensive structures will provide useful information on this kind of architecture. The study of remains of castles in the Rey region has provided an important context for archaeological research. In the present study, the Seljuk fortifications (Rashkān fortress, Gabri and Kāsni Castles) are introduced and recognized as inner city castles. It aims at identifying and studying the Seljuk fortifications of Rey, identifying the function of inner city fortifications, and comparing them with other samples in neighboring regions in terms of characteristics.

    Journal PaperArchaeological studies , Volume 2 , Issue 12, 2020 January , {Pages 23-39 }

    Abstract

    Bulbous domes are among discontinuous double-shell domes and has been developed in Iran since the middle of the 9th century AH/the 15th century AD, concurrent with Timurid period. In this shape of domes, the dome profile was changed so that it began a return below the base of the arch, producing thereby a slight bulge that. The terminology for bulge in Iranian architecture is Avgun. Bulbous dome is considered as a part of Iranian architectural culture and the architects of this land have used this complex structure in a way that has been developing ever since its formation. It seems that this shape of dome requires a precise assessment in terms of design, mechanism of power transmission, and features of structural elements. The main purpose

    Journal Paper , Volume 51 , Issue 200682, 2019 March 16, {Pages 319-344 }

    Abstract

    Azyvjā n ?is one of the less known cities of early Islamic era in western Iran. We are familiar with it through the reports of the early and middle Islamic centurie's geographers and also coins of this city belong to the fourth century AH. This city has been geographically in the? Masbazan ?province in the west of Iran. Despite the studies and archaeological research carried out in this area, so far the city of Azyvjā n and its location has been remained unknown in the present-day geography of the region.

    An Overview of Goddess Anahita and her Iconography in Acient Iran

    Rahele Koulabadi, javad neyestani, seyyed rasool. mousavi haji
    Journal PaperCentral Asiatic Journal, , Volume 62 , Issue 2, 2019 January , {Pages 203- 225 }

    Abstract

    In Persian mythology, Anahita is the only goddess to have her name immortalised next to Ahura Mazda and Mithra - the two overarching Zoroastrian deities. The first written evidence stems from fourth-century BCE inscriptions in Susa and Hamadan. In Persia, Anahita was the deity assigned to water, as well as fertility and prosperity. She was also the protectress of the righteous kings, a tradition starting with the Achaemenian empire and lasting until the end of the Sasanian dynasty. The cultic syncretism developing in the vast Persian empires is as much part of the scrutiny of our authors as the Avestan origins of the Anahita cult.

    Journal PaperCentral Asiatic Journal, , Volume 62 , Issue 2, 2019 January , {Pages 227-232 }

    Abstract

    This article discusses the gryphon, shirdal in Persian, a legendary creature featuring in much of Asia's and Europe's mythology. The shirdal, just as the Greek γρύφων, is a hybrid and legendary beast composed of eagle, human, lion and bull. But was there a common mythical function for the gryphon? The article will answer this question by tracing more than five thousand years of history, with a focus on Elamite architecture unearthed in Susa.
