The archaeology of garbage project was conducted in 2017-18 to investigate the daily garbage of inhabitants of two districts of Tehran. Among the discarded materials, we recognized scattered evidence of prostitutes’ daily life. Finding such evidence gave us an alibi to work on the historical documents in order to trace the patterns of prostitution in nineteenth-century Tehran. In this article, we configure “the geography of prostitution” and the politics of marginalization in the largest city of Iran through investigating the material culture found in garbage fills, surveying the city plan, photos, written documents, and archival data.

垃圾中的花朵：19世纪末至21世纪末伊朗卖淫的转变

垃圾考古项目于2017-18年度进行，旨在调查德黑兰两个地区居民的日常垃圾。在丢弃的材料中，我们发现了妓女日常生活的零散证据。寻找此类证据为我们提供了处理历史文献的借口，以追溯19世纪德黑兰的卖淫模式。在本文中，我们通过调查垃圾场中发现的物质文化，调查城市规划，照片，书面文件和档案数据，来配置“卖淫地理”和伊朗最大城市的边缘化政治。
