Identifying the Newfound Sites in the Southern District of the Qazvin Plain, and Its Implications for Understanding How the Region Transformed in the Iron Age

The Qazvin Plain, located in the Central Iranian Plateau, is ripe with historical artifacts, and significant investigations and excavations have been conducted there. Those efforts are notable for revealing pre-historic sites with cultural continuity, dispersed across the southern district of the Qazvin Plain and dating back from the Paleolithic Period to the Historic Period. However, some questions and ambiguities regarding the Iron Age sites still remained that led me to explore the region. The results of this investigation include identifying and introducing several sites from the Iron Age and the transitional era to the Historic Period, which shows that there are far more Iron Age sites in the region. Moreover, the identification of vast sites in that region suggests that centers of culture may have moved in the Iron Age.

Lupine Publishers | Living in the Anthropocene

   Lupine Publishers | Journal of Anthropological and Archaeological Sciences      Introduction The Anthropocene is the proposed geological epoch where humans have changed some of Earth’s systems. There are many debates surrounding the Anthropocene from if it is a new geological epoch, if it is a new epoch when did it begin and the distinction between nature and human made [1]. Cities have had a major environmental impact across the world, shaping the physical geological environment and could be considered monuments of the Anthropocene. During the Anthropocene, humans have shifted from nomadic and rural lifestyles towards hunting in the big city. Rapidly increasing city populations has placed further pressure on the environment and according to Davis [2], the urban population at the time of his work was 3.2 billion. Davis [2], predicts that cities will account for all future world population growth, which is expected to peak at 10 billion people in 2050. As this growth co

The Storyboard as A Means of Translating Narrations and Concepts into an Animated Web Series

The present document develops primarily the concept of storyboard, its origin and relationship with the concept art and its impact within a flow of production, drawing on theoretical foundations from the history of art, the history of animation, the sketching like a design process, the cognitive development, animation “limited” and the web series, reflecting the development of the storyboard that will serve as the basis for the realization of the pilot of the animated web series “Chronicles of the Edge of the World”, which is based on the Latin American historical memory of the pre-hispanic period and of the conquest reinterpreting historical accounts.  Read more about this article: https://lupinepublishers.com/anthropological-and-archaeological-sciences/fulltext/the-storyboard-as-a-means-of-translating-narrations-and-concepts-into-an-animated-web-series.ID.000121.php Read more Lupine Publishers Google Scholar Articles:   https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_cita

The Hierarchyand Central Place Patterns of the Chalcolithic Sites in the Bakhtiari Highlands, Iran

In archeology, there is a close connection between the size of the ancient places and the level of their social and economic complexity, without understanding and studying it, archaeologists cannot understand the cultural structure of the region. In this hypothesis, the larger of the settlement, the more administrative and social services are provided, and thus has a more complex administrative and economic structure than smaller ones.Accordingly, with the aim of determining the central place and hierarchy,the middle and late Chalcolithic sites ofthe Laran districtin the Zayandeh-Roud basin were studied.To determine the central place and hierarchy of settlement in a mountainous area, using GIS and SPSS software and using cluster analysis method, middle and late Chalcolithic sites were classified and studied and it was determined thatsocieties of Chalcolithic period in the mountain valleys of the Laran district, along with other Zagros valleys, have taken to complex societies, s
