The ancient people living in the
fountainheads of the Halilrud river in the southern
Iranian province of Kerman were metal workers and
miners, recent studies show.
A group of experts doing research in the three
fountainheads of the river has found evidence of the
ancient crafts in the region.
Hossein Towfiqian, head of the
Halilrud archeological team, said studies conducted by
his team suggest metal works were practiced in the third
millennium BCE. "A mountainous region within the
basin of the Halilrud river has been chosen as the area
under study," he noted.
The team is looking at all fountainheads, villages and
hills within the area, registering all evidence by
photography, mapping, positioning, archeological and
geological analysis, Towfiqian said.
The Halilrud river originates from the Hazar and
Lalehzar mountains in Baft.
