About Silk
The ancient site of Silk is one of the most valuable ancient monuments in Iran and the world, which from about 8000 years ago (from the Neolithic to the Median era), has evidence of human life developments. This area includes the northern hill (small silk) with an area of about 5 hectares, the southern hill (large silk) with an area of about 8 hectares, cemetery A and cemetery B. These hills, from ancient to modern, display the works of different periods of human civilization, including the Neolithic Age, the Late Stone Age, the Urban Age, the Iron Age and the Median Age. The most important works of civilization known in Silk include: the first villages and houses built by man, the first domestic animals and plants, the first kilns for pottery and metal smelting, and the first works of calligraphy. This site was excavated for the first time during the years 1312, 1313 and 1316 AH by the French Archaeological Board, headed by Roman Gershman. Also, during the years 2001-2006, the site was excavated and reviewed by the Iranian Archaeological Board headed by Dr. Sadegh (Shapoor) Malek Shahmirzadi. In addition, this area was explored by Dr. Hassan Fazeli in 2008 and 2009. The results of this research have been published in several volumes of books and are available to everyone. This work was registered in the list of national works of Iran on September 15, 1941, number 38, and is on the list of works nominated for world registration. In total, based on the excavations and studies conducted in this area, archaeologists have divided the artifacts on Silk Hill into 6 cultural periods, which have been named from Silk 1 to Silk 6 from ancient to new. Some of the works of these periods are displayed in the showcases in chronological order.
