Abstract:
Pottery as a major artifact crafted by human is a key elements to reconstruction of the past cultures. Presence of important Sasanian-Islamic sites in the Fars region reflects the variety and concentration of different groups of people in this area. Extensive archaeological investigations in the region have provided us with a mass pottery collection to be used in better understanding the Sasanian and early Islamic societies through more precise, technical studies. The present paper sets to give a better picture of the pottery assemblages from the Sasanian-Islamic sites (Bishapur, Sar Mashhad, the city of Gur, Darabgird, Istakhr) and the historical city of Siraf as a main port of the Sasanian era through macroscopic and laboratorial analyses of the available material.
