ABSTRACT

Subterranean rock-cut architecture is a known and frequently used type of architecture in Iran and the world. This type of architecture is documented with residential, defensive and ritual characteristics and was introduced and well studied in different parts of Iran. Recently, one of the such architectural features was excavated in the Tayhaq region of Markazi province in Iran. This subterranean rock-cut architecture was investigated in 2014. Apart from revealing various architectural spaces, its excavation provided important assemblages of small finds such as ceramic and metal vessels, gold personal ornaments, etc. The site was apparently in use only during the twelfth and thirteenth century AD before it was permanently abandoned. The main purpose of this paper is to provide a look into the excavated assemblages from the site.

摘要

地下岩石切割建筑是伊朗和世界上已知且经常使用的建筑类型。这种类型的建筑具有居住、防御和仪式特征，并在伊朗不同地区被引入和深入研究。最近，在伊朗马尔卡齐省的泰哈克地区出土了这样的建筑特征之一。这座地下岩石切割建筑于 2014 年进行了调查。除了揭示了各种建筑空间外，它的挖掘还提供了重要的小发现组合，例如陶瓷和金属器皿、黄金个人装饰品等。该遗址显然仅在十二世纪和十二世纪期间使用过。公元十三世纪，之后才被永久废弃。本文的主要目的是提供对现场挖掘出的组合的了解。
