Adobe architecture area identified in N. eastern Iran

The Public Relations Office of the Research Institute of Cultural Heritage and Tourism (RICHT), quoted head of the archeological team working on Tass Tappeh, Azita Mirzaei Tuesday as saying the dimensions and form of the adobes discovered from the holes are comparable with the adobes of Tass Tappeh building.

Tass Tappeh historical site, including an adobe castle with a span of two hectares and its peripheral environment, were identified in the course of an identification research work and initial studies have been conducted on it, she added.

She pointed to the fact that the results of the initial studies represent the existence of architectural structures in the northern part of the sites, saying upon observation of the findings this question was raised that whether the architectural structure was relevant with Tass Tappeh building or they were two separate monuments.

The archeologist referrred to the launch of documentation activities in the aftermath of the initial identification of the span of the site and said for the preparation of detailed maps to be compatible with global coordinates, the two-frequency GPS was used and then mapping was conducted by using Total camera and flight of the drone for preparing topographical maps and aerial photographs.
