archaeological excavations on the western part of the central iranian plateau, known as the qazvin plain provides invaluable information about the sedentary communities from early occupation to the later prehistoric era. despite the past archeological data, chronological studies mostly rely on the relative use of the bayesian modeling for stratigraphically-related radiocarbon dates. the current...

khole-kū is located in the south of takestan and on the border of qazvin plain. this site was sounding during an archaeological project in the spring of 2011. the pottery materials found by this excavation indicated for the site to have been succesivly occupied from prehistory to islamic periods. in this article we performed a classification framework based on the typological characteristics of...

The Anatolian Plateau, currently experiencing rapid uplift and westward escape, records both the termination of oceanic subduction conversion to continental collision. crustal response transition environment from eastern western Anatolia can be inferred by seismic velocity attenuation structures. With this study, we construct a broadband Lg-wave model for Plateau use it constrain lateral crust ...

Abstract The origin and provenance of eolian sediments such as loess can potentially reveal paleo-air circulation directions that drive temporal changes in climate. these deposits has been mostly assessed by detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology remains debated. Recent studies constraining sediment using only yields a restricted view the overall sources, because commonly records high-temperature t...
