Darband Rashi Cave: Lower Paleolithic Insights
Darband Rashi Cave in northeastern Iran has provided valuable insights into the Lower Paleolithic period. Modern dating methods and lithics associated with faunal remains in stratigraphic context have helped advance understanding of Iran's Lower Paleolithic history. The cave's importance lies in its ability to provide a clearer picture of early human occupation and technological development.
Zagros Mountains: Middle and Upper Paleolithic Records

Dr. Marjan Mashkour and Dr. Sonia Shidrang have made significant contributions to Paleolithic research and the international recognition of Iran's prehistoric heritage. Their work has helped train and shape a new generation of Iranian archaeologists, contributing to the development of the field nationally and internationally.
