ABSTRACT

This article presents the results of the first excavation season of the Mersin cemetery, in the Semnan region, Iran. The cemetery was discovered through surface reconnaissance for the documentation of the area’s archaeological heritage before the construction of the Finesk Dam. Rescue excavations were then conducted in 2014 in three distinct areas of the necropolis. Particularly interesting were results were obtained from trench 3 in which 15 tombs dating to the Achaemenid period were found. This discovery is of particular importance because it reveals interesting information about the Late Iron Age in the area, which was virtually unknown prior to these investigations.

摘要

本文介绍了伊朗塞姆南地区梅尔辛墓地第一个挖掘季的结果。在 Finesk 大坝建造之前，为了记录该地区的考古遗产，通过地表勘察发现了墓地。随后于 2014 年在墓地的三个不同区域进行了救援挖掘。特别有趣的是从第 3 号战壕获得的结果，其中发现了 15 座可追溯到阿契美尼德时期的墓葬。这一发现特别重要，因为它揭示了该地区晚期铁器时代的有趣信息，而这些信息在这些调查之前几乎是未知的。
